b'"In the Steven Spielberg movie "E.T.," why is the alien brown? No reason. In Oliver Stone\'s "JFK," why is the President suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason. Why record a podcast talking about a killer psionic tire movie? Once again, absolutely no reason."\\n\\nIn this podcast, we discuss the cinematic merits of Quentin Dupieux\'s 2010 film Rubber, a slasher film starring a killer psionic tire named Robert. We had lots of fun talking about its status as a Cannes Festival darling, its marvelous animatronic special effects, and its metatextual, "no reason" philosophy. Listen in to learn more about this hidden gem horror film!\\n\\nON THIS EPISODE: Harrison Hall, Kendall Imus, Andrew Shearer\\n\\nYou can find us on Facebook at /UWFilmClub, and on Twitter and Instagram @FilmClubUW.
