We’ve had our mid-season mini-break and we return with one for all your Mads Mikkelsen superfans.
On this episode, I was joined by Ariel (Ride the Omnibus) & Graham (Pop Screen) to discuss the Scandinavian absurdist, Anders Thomas Jensen. Now if that name isn’t immediately familiar, worry not, all you need to know is that he is a director who is a home away from home for the aforementioned Danish Superstar. The films we looked at were Green Butchers (2003), a dark comedy that taps into a dark tradition of cannibal butchers. Then Riders of Justice (2020), an action comedy about grief, tech guys and biker gangs.
As well as those two films we also talk about things such as depictions of disability, bad marketing, how to shoot an action movie without confusing your audience and other stuff that isn’t over my head – nope, not me, you must be thinking of another Rob. Yeah, that’s it. Another Rob.
On our Patreon, we have Doctor Who reviews, Pop Screen bonus episodes, Unseen Asia reviews which kicked off with Hard Boiled – it makes sense I promise, and Gakuryu Ishii’s Angel Dust. We also launched Last Night, where we talked about Land Shark and some other stuff, but mostly Land Shark. A new Episode of that is coming soon. If you enjoyed this podcast, please give it a rating and review it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify; it’d mean the world to us.
