741 - My Winnipeg (2007)

About this episode

The episode discusses Guy Madden's unique documentary 'My Winnipeg', exploring its artistic style and themes.

We know y'all are some nasty freaks out there who have been waiting a long time for this one to drop. Guy Madden comes back with an irreverently cinematic fake/real/fake documentary about his home town of Winnipeg. It's black and white, it's out of focus, the cuts are fast and many. It's psycho-sexual. It's arty AF. Is he going to vignette any shots? Uh, yeah. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store . T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Sidney Lumet's The Wiz (1978).
