  13. INTERVIEW - The Radical Cinema of Robert Kramer, with Whitney Strub

    13 augustus 2026 · 44 min

    Afspelen
    In the late 1960s, when a wave of revolutionary fervor swept the globe, many international filmmakers asked what role cinema could play in activating social and political change. In America, that filmmaker was Robert Kramer. But though his films like ICE (1970) and MILESTONES (1975) are key documents of their time, he has largely been excluded from American film history. On this interview episode, Will talks to Whitney Strub about his new book "Films That Explode like Grenades: Robert Kramer and the Search for a Radical Cinema." Lees meer

    Justin here! I've been a fan of Artist/Writer/Filmmaker Dave Baker since I stumbled on his and Nicole Goux's booth at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, so it was my pleasure to talk to Dave about his and Nicole's new book, PUNK'N HEADS, a comic about the struggle of creativity, the hell of living in LA, and the joy of wearing giant pumpkin heads while rocking out with someone you just might love. Lees meer

    Even if you're not interested in comics... YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE! We talk about the official rules for writing Godzilla comics (which Dave has done!), what makes a comic "cinematic", and the quixotic journey of trying to write and draw the Finnegan's Wake of comics - which Dave did with MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK.
