'Love Lies Bleeding, 'Drive Away Dolls,' and More Bakshi

We're back with another episode full of insight. This time we talk 'Love Lies Bleeding,' and 'Drive Away Dolls'--two lesbian love stories with one way better than the other. We also dive further into Ralph Bakshi's animated worldview with the films 'Coonskin,' and 'Wizards.'

The Iron Claw, and The Book of Clarence. Plus: the end of Hal

This one's a doozy. Two new-ish films: 'The Iron Claw,' and 'The Book of Clarence.' Plus we wrap up our look at the films of Hal Hartley with three of his shorter films and the Sarah Polley vehicle 'No Such Thing.' Lots of side tangents in this one, screamers.

'Watermelon Man' Live Conversation with Marcellis Perkins and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr.

It's a very special episode, screamers! Recently, the Fort Worth Film Club screened Melvin Van Peebles’ scathing look at white privilege, 1970s Watermelon Man. At our post-screening discussion we were lucky enough to be joined by Mr. Marcellis Perkins, and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr. It was a candid, lively, enriching conversation, and we are pleased to present that live recording here. 
 
Next episode we’ll be back to wrap up discussion on Hal Hartley and discuss the new(ish) films 'The Book of Clarence,' and 'The Iron Claw.' Until then, enjoy the live conversation with Marcellis and Dr.G.
