In this episode of Subgenre, host Josh Dasal is joined by screenwriter and film buff Steve Baumgartner as they begin a two-part, marathon dive into the fabled German-language U-boat endurance test, Das Boot - Director's Cut, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and starring Jürgen Prochnow and Herbert Grönemeyer. Topics of discussion include: the eternal Tetris game of food storage in a submersible tube, the genius within the madness of shooting in confined spaces, and whether or not the predictability of a moment matters in a submarine film.
Guest host: Steve Baumgartner, screenwriter
