We go somehow deeper than normal this week. In a slight (and temporary, rest assured!) variation of format, we talk with actor and filmmaker Alex Alexander about depictions of grief in Lars Von Trier's The Idiots, Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited and Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester By The Sea. We discuss real-life murder, suicide, the premature and accidental death of children and more. If you typically skip the intros of the episode, it may be worth listening to this one for a bit of context before diving in. Thanks many times over to Alex Alexander for getting heavy and open with us.
