Episode Synopsis

"My conscience wants vegetarianism to win over the world. And my subconscious is yearning for a piece of juicy meat. But what do I want?"



In this episode, Andrew and Andrew dig into the 1979 film Stalker from Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. They also discuss Tarkovsky's contributions to film theory and his book, Sculpting in Time. The film itself is a mysterious one, full of big questions and beautiful images. If you're confounded by this movie, you're not alone, but hopefully this discussion can give some context to start wrestling with it.
