Well before I disappeared last week to go visit The Fam in the land that is round on the outside and high in the middle, James and I sat down to record the latest episode of our podcast High and Low (Brow). This episode the theme is Comas, meaning in each film at least one major character had to be in a coma at some point. The films we reviewed for this episode, The Mind of Mr Soames, a relatively unknown and very hard to find 70’s science fiction film starring Terrance Stamp, and Pedro Almodovar’s Talk to Her. Will we like them? Hate them? Or will we somehow get stuck discussing giant vaginas and public masturbation for far more time then is necessary. I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

Make sure to stick to the end, where James and I select the theme and films for the next episode, which hopefully will be just as enjoyable and disturbing as this one. Did I mention in this episode I read poetry?

Make no mistake, this is a very special episode of High and Low (Brow).

Thanks for listening, and be sure to leave your comments. And if you have any ideas for films or themes for future episodes, or simply want to berate us in private, be sure to email us at inbox at wherethelongtailends dot com. We appreciate any and all feedback.

After a host of new additions last week this week is a little light on new additions. Most of the changes have to do with listing several films as now being tentative dates, as the next couple of weeks are pretty top heavy with new additions, and some are going to have to be pushed.

But their are two new additions, though they are not listed until December. This first is William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe (What a title!) and the second is Broken Embraces, the new Pedro Almodovar film that stars Penelope Cruz’s cleavage and a cast of thousands (or not).
