And for our closing film, do we have a sad film for you: 1978's AUTUMN SONATA aka HÖSTSONATEN, written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, and starring Ingrid Bergman, Liv Ullmann and Lena Nyman. It's a real Bergman-off, with double your Bergmans for all your crying (and whispering) pleasure! How did New World get their hands on this? We explain! How well did the Bergmans (not related) get along during filming? We'll tell you! What's the best elixir for get deep into conversation with you mom? You may know already, but we discuss, and imbibe! Was Bergman a "bro," we explore! And do you want stories about piano lessons from our actual life? You just lucked out! Trust us, 'ol Berg put together a wild movie, and so our episode follows suit, as we discuss the business Bergie should have dived into, delve into Berg Berg's personal life, and hey, are those pizza bites ready yet?
