Schrader Ep. 17: The Comfort of Strangers (1990) with Jordan Fish and Ray Tintori

No, you haven't fallen asleep in a Venice alleyway - it's really the podcast! Today we're wandering La Serenissima and monologuing about our fathers as we discuss Paul Schrader's dreamy 1990 literary adaptation THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS with filmmakers and To The White Sea cohosts Jordan Fish and Ray Tintori! And yes, we do figure out which of us is which character from the film. We talk Ian McEwan, Harold Pinter, Gen X masculinity, befriending weirdos, dad stuff, vampires, and much more. Please, listen to our podcast - we insist.
