This week’s film, The Wave, is a disturbing look at how autocratic and fascistic ideas can take hold in modern society. Not the easiest of subjects for a lighthearted film podcast, so Lewis and Ian are a bit more series than usual. Don’t worry though, there’s enough ramble-y nonsense for you regular listeners. 101 Films Podcast … Continue reading Podcast 060: The Wave (Die Welle) →
