Podcast Episode 18 - Django Unchained / Army of Shadows

Django Unchained ! Tarantino's newest film is, as you might expect, hotly debated, drawing both lavish praise and withering criticism alike. People seem to either love it or hate it, and we here at Albatross Applesauce are keen to put in our two cents as well. We'll talk about Tarantino the auteur, we'll talk about the extreme violence, and we'll talk about the difference between what it is to be a "performer" and what it is to be an "actor". Tune in and give us a listen!

This film, seemingly lost until its restoration and re-release in 2006, deals rather fatalistically with the French resistance to the German occupation during World War II. One of my very favorite films, Phil and I have a lively discussion about the overarching existentialism, the consummate filmmaking on display, and the infrmative, though sometimes frustrating, extras on this disc. As always, give us a listen, converse with us on our Facebook page or the comments section on this blog, and let us know what you think. In the next episode, we'll be discussing the films of Wolfgang Petersen, more specifically The Neverending Story and In the Line of Fire . See you then!
