Episode 38: Lars Von Trier

Kurt Halfyard returns once again, alongside film blogger Matt Marko as they join Jim (sans Patrick this week) to talk about the controversial provocateur Lars Von Trier. Despite touching upon a few of his films throughout the conversation, we mainly focus on the stylistic film noir EUROPA as well as the highly acclaimed BREAKING THE WAVES.  In addition, Kurt revisits E.T, Jim reviews Oliver Stone's latest film SAVAGES, and Matt touches on Aaron Sorkin's THE NEWSROOM.In about a week, Patrick will be talking with Greg David and possibly another surprise guest to talk about the great Richard Lester. Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528.
