#454 Grass' DOWNFALL (2004)

Description

EPISODE #454-- We do some post-Andor manifesting by taking on the end-of-WWII drama DOWNFALL (2004). It's not just a meme, it's actually a pretty solid movie about Hitler blowing his brains out (and other things).

TIME STAMPS:

3:49: We talk about the magic of Bruno Ganz (RIP)
5:05: We lament the current state of streaming
8:35: STAR WARS MENTIONED
27:00: We talk briefly about Wagner
23:00: ANDOR MENTIONED (again)
54:45: Cruz mentions the documentary BLIND SPOT (2002), on which much of this film is based, which is not to be confused with the other documentary BLINDSPOT (2024), which seems to be sour grapes about anti-genocide protests. Big gap there.
1:03:12: Cruz talks about the latest THE COUNTY OF MONTY CRISTO (2024) adaptation.
1:06:00: James talks about THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004) or possibly THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007).
1:07:13: We talk briefly about ASHES & DIAMONDS (1958, dir. Andzrej Wjada). It's a good one!
