Another Kind Of Distance: A Time Travel, Twin Peaks, Film, Doom Patrol And Nostalgia Podcast

Welcome to the first installment of Fear & Moviegoing in Toronto! This time out, it’s part one of our mammoth conversation covering Marlene Dietrich and Josef von Sternberg’s inspired 1930s collaborations. We saw the films as part of The TIFF Lightbox’s recently concluded retrospective, Insolent Enigma/Arrogant Auteur.  Join us as we feel our way toward a critical counternarrative to the anemic analyses which have plagued the skin-deep celebration of this cinematic septet for too long. (Much of our discussion takes place in dialogue with Andrew Sarris’ 1960s monograph The Films of Josef von Sternberg.)     Time Codes: 0h 1m 00s:       Preamble 0h 22m 27s:     The Blue Angel 0h 46m 00s:     Morocco 1h 15m 43s:     Dishonored 1h 48m 30s:     Shanghai Express 2h 11m 23s:    Listener Mail with Todd Murry +++ *Read Elise’s Writing at Bright Wall/Dark Room, Cléo, and Bright Lights.* Follow us on Twitter at @therebuggy Write to us at therebuggy@gmail.com Theme Music: “What’s Yr Take on Cassavetes?” – Le Tigre
