The great Carmelita Valdez-McKoy returns to Popcorn Eschaton and she's brought both classic Russian literature and Akira Kurosawa with her! Together, they discuss Kurosawa's 1951 adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel 'The Idiot, the film's depiction of accumulated trauma, and why this cut-to-pieces film is still beautiful and very much worth spending time with. Logo designed by Jesse Arnold (https://www.instagram.com/just.shelve.it/) Theme music is "Sun Blood" by Oxeneers (https://oxeneers1.bandcamp.com/) Song at the end is "Jolene," performed by The White Stripes, available on their live recording 'Under the Blackpool Lights.'
