On this week's episode, my friend Cole drops in to discuss his recommendation, Costa-Gavras' fiery political thriller, Z! In our spoiler-free conversation, Cole and I discuss the turbulent historical context behind the film and its source novel and dig in on the history that defined other 20th century classics like The Battle of Algiers, Come and See, Viridiana and Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion. This episode is designed to work for fans of Z and newcomers alike as we provide a sociocultural primer for Gavras' thunderous Best Picture nominee.
