On today's episode our panel attempts to discern the indiscernible. Lady P, Emma Guerard, and Andy Theiss are going to try to make sense of The Sight and Sound Critic's Poll's 17th Greatest Movie of All Time, Ingmar Bergman's PERSONA. Listen up to find out if they enjoyed having their brains disassembled by a grumpy Swedish dude. 

They follow that up with another meeting of the Richard Linklater fanclub. (The group first met up for the Dazed and Confused episode.) This time they're discussing his 2014 feature film BOYHOOD. There are a couple of people on this panel that think themselves contrarians, but will they dare go up against the near universal acclaim that BOYHOOD has received? We shall see...

Then they end the show with a few final notes of positivity: 

Here's Emma's

Here's Andy's

Here's Lady P's

*SPOILER ALERT-The ending and key details of this film will be revealed*  Chris and Graham go into detail about The Purge.  A nice indie effort about violence in this country.  Good social commentary, with just a few problems.  Enjoy!

To behold Dave Hawke onstage is the equivalent of cracking your eyes when the Ark of The Covenant is opened .  And then super-natural spirits rip into the most blistering rendition of "Wanted: Dead or Alive" you've ever witnessed.  Grandiose comparisons aside, make sure you hang in there with this episode past the bits on boob-flashing and Uranus for some brilliant words from Dave Hawke, a performer in his own class.
