Episode 68, Jun 23, 2023, 07:00 AM
Jamie does a blind tasting on mic, then Scott unpacks the legacy of a recently departed queer cinema icon.
The Epic Conclusion of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries!
After weeks of talking about blind tasting, can Jamie successfully identify this classic NZ Sauvy Bobby sight unseen? Given the outsized impact of Kenneth Anger on American cinema and the culture at large, why did Scott delay one of his films until the very end of this miniseries? Answers to those burning questions await you, plus needless digressions about tacos, dachshunds, and Scott’s perfectly honed internal clock. All you gotta do is press play, y’all.
