We may be done with Satan, but we’re not quite done with Sinning. Join us for the month of November as we embark on the fluid-filled odyssey of sex that is Lars Von Trier’s 2013 film “Nymphomaniac”; a saga covered in 2 parts! Join us as we discuss this masterful film made by a truly insufferable human being. While at times we both think this script is trying to just come off as “look at how smart I am” by just saying pseudo-intellectual things without any sort of clear indication or thematic

This week we start with 2003’s “Elephant”. Written and directed by Gus Van Sant, this film (which ultimatley started as a documentary about the 1999 Columbine High School Massacre) works as a placid
