About this episode

The episode discusses Krzysztof Kieslowski's film 'Blind Chance' and its historical context regarding censorship in Poland.

Krzysztof Kieslowski returns to the podcast with his 1981 break-out smash hit (or at least it would have been if Polish censors hadn't suppressed it for 6 years and only then to release a heavily cut version). It's almost as if there is one narrative where the film got released as planed, another where Kieslowski couldn't release it, and yet another where Randy didn't pick it for this podcast. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store .
