Killer of Sheep [1977]

Season 1 Episode 145

Jackie and Greg travel back to a post-Watts Riots Los Angeles for Charles Burnett's KILLER OF SHEEP from 1977. Topics of discussion include the film's low budget production, its document of a place and people, why it wasn't available for decades, and its dreamlike, half-remembered quality.
