Guest Co-Hosts: Philip Marinello, Rob St. MaryCzechtember 2025 kicks off with Cosy Dens (AKA Pelíšky), Jan Hřebejk’s bittersweet 1999 coming-of-age dramedy adapted from Petr Šabach’s novel Hovno Hoří (Shit on Fire). Written by Petr Jarchovský, the film unfolds between Christmas 1967 and the Prague Spring of 1968, chronicling the warmth, absurdity, and heartbreak of two neighboring families caught between tradition, rebellion, and history itself.
Rob St. Mary and Philip Marinello join Mike to unpack this Czech classic’s mix of humor and melancholy, its cultural specificity, and its universal resonance.
