The time has come for us to get on our bikes and launch a brand new director marathon and for this year we decided to shadow Kathryn Bigelow and chart the course of her career as she went from indie obscurity to genre re-invention and all the way to the highest echelons of prestige filmmaking! We begin our escapade by talking about her indie debut The Loveless! Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about biker movies, how this movie homages (or doesn’t) The Wild One, how Jim Jarmusch may have influenced the NY indie scene and whether young Willem Dafoe was a hot hunk or not. We also talk about pretentiousness in film, men being trash and much more!

Tune in and enjoy!
