Episode 40 - The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner

Well, we've made it to forty. The spirit of Herzog is keeping us going and we honor Werner Herzog by devoting the month of September to his documentaries. Bob and Drew discuss a sports themed Herzog doc that was a big turning point in the director's career. Walter Steiner is a moody young ski-flying phenom that can bust ramp records on the reg. He also carves wood. A serene film set to some Popol Vuh krautrock. And crashes. Lots and lots of ski-jump crashes. Also, is Werner wearing a Dallas Cowboys jacket? This is available on YouTube and if you're like us you will need to turn on the subtitles. If you don't, then good for you Mr./Ms. smartypants. Keep on Doccin'®
