Elephant (2003) (with Katherine Vienneau and Matthew Nicholson)

We're back discussing the 2nd film in Gus Van Sant's "Death Trilogy" ELEPHANT. Yes, this is his Columbine movie... yes, heavy subject matter is perhaps not our forte... but don't worry, we can still have fun right? Of course we can!

Joining us for said fun is returning guest Katherine Vienneau and first time guest, longtime listener and even longertime friend of Ben, Matthew Nicholson (all the way from sunny Saskatoon, SK)

We goof off in the first half and are rattled and angered by the news of the potential hostile takeover of our beloved Revue Cinema by a 96 year-old crank. We also talk about Alan Clarke's incredible 1989 BBC film ELEPHANT from which G Van S took inspiration for his ELEPHANT.

Join us next week for the final film in this series, LAST DAYS. Smells like teen spirit!
