It's another birthday ep, which means another deep dive into the oeuvre of another fascinating arthouse filmmaker!
Urban Isolation, Rural Malaise, and the Nature of Evil are just a few of the subjects Nuri Bilge Ceylan tackles in his works. He luxuriates in the vast snow-covered topographies of Anatolia, and in the way relics of the past pepper Ceylan's cinematic landscapes, so too are his films pockmarked with moments of shock and awe that transcend the slow cinema scenery and erudite conversation. Challenge yourself! Watch these films and grow! And remember: every culture has a Cool Horse Guy. š

Tuesday Mar 05, 2024
We're covering Emancipation this week's episode of The Academy Academy. We attempt to keep this ep light on spoofs and goofs, although that doesn't stop us from hoping that the Chris Rock-directed remake of Another Round will star Adam Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider.
Enjoy!
