Episode Synopsis

VERY EXCITED to have my pal Michael a.k.a. sharkeyflor a.k.a. sharkeyfilm on to discuss 35 Shots of Rum by Claire Denis and Duel by Steven Spielberg. Michael had never seen a Spielberg, so I was happy to show him the one that I think is utterly Steven. And I was super glad he got to introduce me to more Claire Denis. I loved this one and had loved Beau Travail, so I was super pumped for it.The vid looks weird because of...YA KNOW :). Hope you enjoy! Find Michael here, he is a tremendous follow who has incredible taste.
