Badlands, with Steven DeLay (Malick 1)

Brett and Thomas are joined by philosopher Steven DeLay, for the first of an intermittent series we'll be doing with him on the films of Terrence Malick. After giving an overview of Malick, we analyze the Malick movie that most directly interacts with the major topics of Psyop Cinema, his 1973 debut Badlands. We discuss how it treats the themes of social alienation, nihilism and dissociation and consider the possibility that this poetic and eerie lovers-on-the-run crime drama is secretly an MKUltra movie.
