Bad Timing & Eureka (with Alex Kolpan)

Ever listen to Simon & Garfunkel and wonder what Art Garfunkel's balls look like? Curious what an Austrian/Brooklyn accent would sound like? Then we have the perfect double feature for you.

Like so many other directors in the first part of this series, Nicolas Roeg had an incredible run of films in the 1970's. From the critically acclaimed "Don't Look Now" and "Walkabout" to the David Bowie-starring cult hit "The Man Who Fell to Earth," Roeg had prominently secured himself as the best cinematographer turned director of his time. Roeg's 80's output was far more divisive and obscure though. Today on the podcast, we're diving into two of Roeg's most controversial and critically maligned films with the Art Garfunkel/Theresa Russell meditation on obsession and possession, "Bad Timing," followed by the epic true story "Eureka," featuring Russell, Gene Hackman, Joe Pesci, Mickey Rourke and Rutger Hauer.

Writer and director Alex Kolpan joins us to unpack these X-rated thrillers and all things Roeg. We'll dive into his longtime creative and romantic partnership with Russell, the reason we keep returning to Roeg's work, Yassified Harvey Keitel, voodoo orgies, and the acting career of Art Garfunkel and his balls.
