10/11/22 • 60 min

40 years after The Holy Mountain, we revisit famed director Alejandro Jodorowsky with his surreal autobiographical film, The Dance of Reality. What is it like for a midnight cult director to return to the world of cinema after so many years? We talk about what makes this film more approachable than Jodorowsky's other works, while still going into detail about the scene where someone urinates on someone else's face.

Once again, we're joined by Noah Cannon who is here to help us wrangle the most labyrinthine film on our list: Cloud Atlas, technically one of the most expensive independent films ever made from the Wachowski sisters and Tom Tykwer. There's a lot to talk about: how history repeats itself, the many changes between the book and the movie, how this film has become something of a cult classic, the excitement of having a transgender director helming a huge film, and why we (as well as Tom Hanks) think you should give Cloud Atlas another shot if you overlooked it in 2012.
