Schrader Ep. 35: There Are No Saints (2022)

It's the one you've all been waiting for - our episode on Alfonso Pineda Ulloa's 2014 film THERE ARE NO SAINTS, adapted from an unmade Schrader script, which sat on a shelf for 8 years before getting dumped on VOD after his FIRST REFORMED/CARD COUNTER comeback. What's that? You don't know what this movie is and you don't really want to hear us talk about it? Great news - this episode was recorded live (to tape) at Ian's home in Oaxaca, is mostly about Jake's visit there, and contains shocking revelations that turn much of PCFM's Ian Lore upside down. Plus some talk about neo-exploitation cinema, John Wick riffs, narcocultura, and eating bugs. Fun ep, check it out!
