On today's show Lady P is joined by Gabe Haggard and The Film Experience's Anne Marie Kelly to celebrate the 84th birthday of Jean Luc Godard. To mark the occasion the panel discusses one of Godard's best remembered classics, CONTEMPT. And what do you know, CONTEMPT also happens to be the next entry on the Sight and Sound Greatest of All Time list. However, just because it's someone's special day doesn't mean the panel's gonna be any less critical of this supposed masterpiece. To do any less would be an insult to our listeners, and to cinema's favorite enfant terrible.
Then it's a double-dose of self-reflexive cinema, because they follow up their CONTEMPT discussion with another film about film: Alejandro González Iñárritu's BIRDMAN.
