Episode 728: Weekend (1967)

Guest Co-Hosts: Andrei Idu, Rob St. Mary

Buckle up for a journey through the absurd, anarchic, and audacious as The Projection Booth takes on Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend (1967). Hosts Mike White, Rob St. Mary, and Andrei Idu (who requested the episode via Patreon) dive headfirst into Godard's biting critique of consumerism, class, and chaos, dissecting the film's surreal narrative, infamous tracking shots, and unapologetically subversive tone. From the traffic jam to the revolutionaries, they explore how this incendiary masterpiece continues to provoke and puzzle audiences decades later.
