The American Avant Garde: Black Daisy and Christina Engelhardt 9/6/2007
Karl tackles the comedy duo - Black Daisy, with bruising results in the first half of this episode.

The American Avant Garde: Film History Special 8/4/2007
Get your notebooks out !! This time Karl takes us through a potted history of cinema, with gems from Ingmar Bergmanj, Frederico Fellini, Jean Cocteau, and Bernardo Bertolucci. Hmmm... a bunch of foreigners, but as Coppola once said "the next great director is probably a 12 year old girl living in Kansas" , or Seattle !! |

The American Avant Garde: Ben Russell and David Miller 8/2/2007
From contemptuous, through tempting, to the untemptable - Karl's got his hands full. Tyson Theroux is tasty , while David Miller is arguably nothing short of brilliant, which leaves Ben Russell as the inscrutable one. |
