Felicia is once again joined by Ben Vargas (listen to our episode on Woman in the Dunes) to discuss Ingmar Bergman's story of a priest's inner turmoil in Winter Light (1963). We chat about how timeless Bergman's films are and how the subject matter of questioning one's own faith in not only religion, but humanity and one's own self is relatable to all audiences. Along with how the visual blocking compliments the character's speeches as they unfold on screen. This marks the final film in the Bergman series and it has been such a pleasure revisiting these complex and important pieces of cinema. His filmography is so vast we barely scratched the surface, I promise we'll see Bergman again soon. Send us your thoughts on the episode - which film is your favourite in the trilogy of faith?

Money makes the world go round, does it not? Let the capital flow, so its profits may trickle down in a wellspring of bounty for all … except that the greater the flow, the faster it trickles up, away from the masses and into the hands of a rarefied, entitled elite that never seems to stop wanting more. In this week’s episode, Women Make Movies’ Executive Director Debra Zimmerman joins us for a discussion of the new Netflix series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, which follows the rapacious, billionaire pedophile’s life and career while giving voice to the women he abused. Then, Bart and Chris interview director Justin Pemberton about his recent Capital in the Twenty-First Century, a rousing, enraging examination of how the world is rapidly heading away from the equalizing tendencies of the 20th century’s middle period. Sad, but true. Now what are you going to do about it? Group Review Documentary: JEFFREY EPSTEIN: FILTHY RICH (Lisa Bryant, 2020) (4-part Netflix series) Available now on Netflix.
