Climate change is drying up some water supplies and making others undrinkable.

That's why here and now anytime is covering the hunt for fresh water.

From a pipeline in the Great Lakes to the science of desalination to extreme recycling that turns sewage into clean drinking water.

That's here and now anytime, a podcast from NPR and WBUR.

Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of Maximum Fun.org

and is distributed by NPR.

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's Bullseye. I'm Jesse Thorne.

There's this famous documentary called Los Angeles plays itself.

I don't know if you've seen it.

It's actually kind of a video essay. About 20 years old. Runtime of just under three hours, really long, kind of a masterpiece. The filmmaker,

Tom Anderson, chronicles the history of how Los Angeles has been depicted in movies. Not the kinds of movies that are shot in Los Angeles,

but where Los Angeles is pretending to be Chicago, but movies that are set in L.A.

Everything from glamorous stories about Hollywood stars to gritty dramas about gangs, action movies,

with car chases where a car goes know, car goes off the hill in one

place in Los Angeles and then lands 30 miles away. Anyway, in Los Angeles plays itself.

Anderson basically argues that there are very few movies that show Los Angeles as it actually

is. But there's one exception. Killer of Sheep from

1978, directed by my guest Charles Burnett. And speaking of masterpieces, killer of sheep is certainly one.

It set in Watts, follows a handful of people who live there, including Stan, who is

basically a regular guy who works at a local slaughterhouse. It's shot in black and white,

reminds you a little bit of Italian classics like the bicycle thieves. It is a breathtakingly

beautiful work.
