This week we're all about suffering, psychogeography and discovering thyself with our recommended film of the week, Penda's Fen (1974). Also featuring mythic meditations on Saint Maud, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Iron Giant and Ed Wood. All before another round of head-scratchers from you, the listener!
