Pull up a chair, folks - it's time for our episode on Paul Schrader's "first post-mortem film," the Russell Banks adaptation OH, CANADA, fresh from the cinema. Joining us to unpack it is Final Boss of the podcast and real-life Canadian person Will Sloan! We talk about what we expect of the personal morality of political artists, Canada's relationship to her neighbor to the south, and the film's place in Schrader's filmography. We also got Will's thoughts on JUROR #2 while we had him on mic, because of course we did. Great conversation, great movie, great ep!
Soderbergh episodes coming soon.
