Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 45:10 — 43.4MB)

Any reference to real events and persons living or dead is not accidental. It is deliberate.

We conclude our recasting and discussion of Z, the 1969 French-Algerian political murder suspense procedural drama. We talk about how awkward it is to watch people fight. We talk about other movies that fictionalized events in their own time. We talk about the library a lot.
