All great things must come to an end, so what better way to conclude our ten episode misadventure through crime cinema than with Dog Eat Dog, 2016's gloriously indulgent psycho romp from master of the form Paul Schrader? First though, this episode's Blue Plate Special raises its glass to salute the life and career of French trailblazer Jean-Luc Godard- we attempt to put into words his incalculable contribution to the entirety of cinema - before we briefly recommend the new horror film Barbarian. But have no fear, we eventually dive head first into Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe's disasterpiece: listen as we discuss how Dog Eat Dog improbably charted a career comeback for its director, how exactly this stylish potboiler taps into Schrader's reliable thematic goodie bag of tricks and treats, and generally puzzle with fascination over how the heck Christopher Matthew Cook and his brisk but memorable character, Diesel, fits into the proceedings. This episode of Overlapping Dialogue represents a sort of end of an era for the podcast...be sure to stay tuned for the very end to hear us unveil a new format and focus moving forward that has us very excited for what our future holds!
