This week, Izzy and Murtada discuss the film of the summer. No, it’s not Superman, and it’s definitely not Eddington. It’s Taxi zum Klo—Frank Ripploh’s 1980 film about a gay public school teacher in Berlin who is forced to reassess his preference for casual sex when he enters into a relationship with a cinema worker named Bernd. The restoration of this extremely modern, incisive film premieres at Metrograph in New York City on August 1. Izzy and Murtada also discuss the aforementioned Superman and Eddington—why Superman’s politics are surprisingly bold and Eddington’s are annoyingly toothless, what James Gunn offers the DC Universe, and where Ari Aster can go from here.
