Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln. It's on the tongues of everyone discussing best-of lists for the end of the year and every person speculating for the upcoming awards season. It's already been nominated for 7 Golden Globes and is likely to go on to a pretty big haul when it comes time for Oscar nominations. The performances have been praised, the direction of Spielberg has been applauded, and the handling of the subject matter has been discussed at length. All that is well and good, sure, but the best thing about Lincoln is that it is being discussed in depth right here on Albatross Applesauce.

In the second half of this week's podcast, for The Criterion Corner, we discuss Rainer Werner Fassbinder's one and only foray into the world of science fiction, World on a Wire. This 3 1/2 hour sci-fi-cum-noir, that is at least the spiritual precursor to many of the great sci-fi films of the past 40 years, is alternately fascinating, dated, compelling, and insufferably dull. Phil and I have somewhat divergent views in regards to this film, and try our best to get to the heart of this compelling yet frustrating film.
Join us again next week, when we'll discuss two films from the bizarre and controversial art-house director Alejandro Jodorowsky! We've watched his psychedelic allegory of The Holy Mountain and the bizarre circus sideshow slasher flick Santa Sangre. Join us for our discussion of these bizarre and fascinating films.
We'd love you to participate in the discussion, so please leave any feedback on the podcast in the comments section below or visit us at our Facebook page. Thanks so much!
