Directorial Debuts is this weeks theme. We start with our top 5 directorial debuts. Terrance Malick's "Badlands" (1973) is based on a real life killing spree in 1958 and it gives us a glimpse of Malik's poetic style in both photography and language. M&A agree Sissy Spacek steals the show (19:57). "Following" (1998) is a neo-noir crime drama that Christopher Nolan made for around $6,000. The film definitely has Nolan's signature themes of time and identity and does not disappoint (51:18).

Next, Relationships Are....Complicated with Sex, Lies and Videotapes (1989) and Closer (2004).

Thanks for listening!
