| 7/19/22 | 2001 NO MAN'S LAND | For Arthur and Andrew, the Bosnian War of the 1990s may have been overshadowed by the 9/11 terrorists attacks in 2001, but it's certainly still worth exploring in a film like No Man's Land. This week we discuss how this movie subverts the expectations of war films set up by Saving Private Ryan a few years earlier, and we also attempt to wrap our heads around the Bosnian War (we do not do a good job).

| 5/10/22 | 1996 THE WATERMELON WOMAN | Before the 1990s, we wouldn't expect to see a film like The Watermelon Woman, a microbudget movie by a black queer filmmaker about black queer issues. But it's also a staple of 1990s independent cinema for its self-reflexivity: a film about filmmaking and film history. We tie together past episodes on Baby Face and A Page of Madness as we consider the canon of film that The Watermelon Woman challenges, and the way groups of people are buried by history.
