Troy Anderson joins us to talk about our very first animated filmmaker, the audacious and highly original Ralph Bakshi. We mainly focus on his adaptation of THE LORD OF THE RINGS as well as his unique look back at American history with AMERICAN POP, but we definitely touch upon some more of his lesser known work as well.\\xa0 Towards the end, we realize that a 2nd episode may come into fruition in the future simply because there's a lot to be said about this incredibly unique artist.\\xa0 In addition, Jim had time to take a stroll with Mike Birbiglia's rather charming SLEEPWALK WITH ME, Troy discusses BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART ONE and SWEET KILL, while Patrick takes a look at an animated short entitled DISKJOCKEY, which is linked in the show notes.

In a couple weeks we will be talking with Damon Houx about the great Wong Kar-Wai.\\xa0 The two films we will be focusing on CHUNGKING EXPRESS and IN THE MOOD OF LOVE so feel free to watch them before the show and send us your thoughts.\\xa0 Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528.
