Projector Pod
Ebba Wester and Macon Holt talk about movies (new and old) in a super nerdy, fun, critical theory-inflected and engaging way. Sometimes other people talk too.

This time on Projector Pod, we are talking about arthouse director Kelly Reichardt's latest film, The Mastermind. A 1970s period piece about an unemployed father's attempt to pull off an audacious and strangely specific art heist at the local gallery. It is a richly textured, slow, almost slapstick character study set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and fading dreams of the counterculture about the dangers of being the main character when you're not quite up to the task.
