The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: South Korea, Portland and Postwar Germany

We go all over the world on the most recent episode of the podcast. We both rave about Possible Love and Fatherland. But we differ on Laika's latest, Wildwood. You can hear our discussion down below.

'Fatherland' Review

Pawel Pawlikowski returns for his first film since Cold War. Fatherland is a real stunner as well, and I was very happy to review it for the Los Angeles Times.

Wunderhorse - "The Rope"

Every generation gets its "Everybody Hurts."

Sacha Baron Cohen Is Still Obsessed With America

 
For more than 25 years now, the British performer's biggest comedic target has been the United States. But does his satire still have any teeth? For the A.V. Club, I wrote about his career and his latest provocation, Ali G: Who Iz I? 

'Klara and the Sun' Review

Taika Waititi used to make good movies. Klara and the Sun is a blunt reminder of what he's become of late. My review of this sappy sci-fi film is up at the Los Angeles Times. 

'Clayface' Review

Did you ever wonder how Batman villain Clayface became a monster? A new film presents his origin story. My review is up at Screen International.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Three Big Documentaries, One Great Episode
