On this week’s episode, Justin and Will discuss the work of Cinema’s irredeemable bad boy by examining his films 2 or 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER (1967) and HAIL MARY (1984). They talk about the people who love the grumpy jerk (which includes Will), the transition from Godard’s golden age to his “What the hell are you talking about?” age, and his legacy in the History of Film (not to be confused with Godard’s History of film). We both come to Godard from a different perspective, so the debate is lively, inquisitive and filled with questions that we heroically try to find answers for.
The most pulse pounding talk about French New Wave’s favorite son you’ll hear TODAY!
