Summary
This week, Matt and Corbin are joined by DOM SINACOLA ( Film Critic at The Portland Mercury , The Werner Hertzblog ) to talk about LESSONS OF DARKNESS, Werner Herzog's impressionistic non fiction essay movie about the burning oilfields of Kuwait in the wake of the first Gulf War. Topics include: is this movie responsible? Germany in the post war, Herzog and truth and lies, and other stuff. Honestly it's been a while since we recorded it, so it's possible I'm missing something. Check out the show on Letterboxd if you're into that thing . Matt is also on there . And we got a Bluesky going. Next episode is about "The White Ribbon," which is streaming somewhere, probably.
