Join us on episode 102 of the Film Junk Premium Podcast as we discuss the films of Werner Herzog. We hand-picked a selection of movies that capture his unusual blend of fact and fiction, some of which are the catalyst of the unbelievable myths and legends connected to the filmmaker Muhammad Ali once called "One of the most significant voices in German cinema."
This episode is nine years in the making. Hardcore Junkers (aka Heroes) might recall episode 474 of the Film Junk Podcast titled "Little Frankie Needs To Buy, Buy, Buy," in which Matt Gourley joined Sean, Jay, and Frank as they opened their newly purchased, autographed Herzog Blu-ray sets. Upon discovering a smudge on one of the signatures, Werner Herzog himself called in to comment on the situation. Now, a decade later, the purchases have finally paid off. Please enjoy against your better judgment.
Note: This episode was recorded deep within the Pindaya Caves in Myanmar on primitive microphones stolen from the audio/visual department of an unnamed university in the Rangon region.
