Jackie and Greg discuss Claude Lanzmann's nine-hour-plus eyewitness account of the Holocaust, SHOAH from 1985.

Camp counselors Jackie and Greg dig into six short films from avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren. The films discussed include: Meshes of the Afternoon (1943); At Land (1944); A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945); Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946); Meditation on Violence (1949); and The Very Eye of Night (1958).
The monthly "S'mores" series is an offshoot from our main series, where Jackie and Greg explore films from the fringes of cinema, encompassing underground, experimental, cult, camp, genre, horror, and B-movies. "S'mores" episodes are unlocked by becoming either a Patron or Friend of the Show (see below). These episodes are released on the last Tuesday of each month.
