Run Lola Run (1998)

Hey guys and gals, we have another commissioned podcast, this time from fellow fan Stig Ove Pederson, for the German film, “Lola Rennt”, perhaps better known to english speakers as “Run Lola Run”.  A break out hit for both star Franka Potente (“The Bourne Identity”, “The Shield”, “The Bridge”) and director Tom Tykwer (“Perfume: The Story of a Murderer”, “Cloud Atlas”), the movie has a kinetic style, compelling action, and raises questions about causality, determinism, and free will.

Waking Life (2001)

Special thanks to Michael Kessler for using Subbable to commission his very own custom Podcast!  But we’re getting ahead of ourselves… Is this a podcast?  Is it a dream?  Will it’s connected consciousness evolve in a more enlightened, compassionate, sharing direction, or will it just want set itself on fire, scream into a megaphone to empty streets, or cut off eyelids and put out cigars on eyeballs?  Do you dream?  Do you remember your dreams?  Can you dream lucidly?  Have you ever been stuck in a dream?  Jim and A.Ron ponder all this and more in a very trippy recap to a very trippy movie/experience, Richard Linklater’s 2001, “Waking Life”.
