Episode 31: Kathryn Bigelow

Our mouths get big and macho as we discuss the great action thriller Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow. Mike Flynn of CHUD.com returns for some further insights about her, as we focus on the beloved cult surfer bank robber classic, POINT BREAK, as well as her anticipated follow-up which turned out to be a box office failure STRANGE DAYS. In addition, Ryan reviews 21 JUMP STREET, Jim elaborates on the powerfully understated HEAVY, and Patrick decides to talk once again about favorite submarine movies after watching U571.In only one week (!) we will be talking about Coleman Francis with an author who is currently on a book tour, that has much to say about this misunderstood filmmaker. Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528. If you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire (or despise).
