057 - Double Feature - Funny Games (1997 & 2007)

It's Nihilism Week on Pod Sematary! In this Double Feature, Chris & Kelsey watch what amounts to the same movie twice -- a movie many people would rather not watch once! First up is 1997's Funny Games, from Austrian auteur, Michael Haneke! Then in 2007, Haneke made the picture he always wanted: the same movie again, only in America this time! They're slogs of miserable movies that, according to the man himself, are utterly pointless. Find out why these two movies are remarkable in their construction but lead Chris to proclaim he hates their pretentious architect. Get more at podsematary.com!
