Summary

Grab your katana and white dress because we're heading over to a small German town to discuss the internal struggle of the queer cop at the center of Till Kleinert's surreal film Der Samurai. Joining us for the discussion is Transploitation co-creator Ten Backe! Come along for the ride as we wade through the film's dream logic to interpret what this film is trying to say. We've got a look at small town queer life, coming out via baptism, questions surrounding gender identity and one very erect penis. Plus, attacking queer culture through pink flamingos, decapitations galore, a town literally covered in blood, more Freeway plugs and our beefs with James Woods and Isaiah Washington. Questions? Comments? Snark?
