Maddie, Swade's friends who he met while she was homeless, joins us to talk about "Dancer in the Dark". "Dancer in the Dark" is a musical drama directed by Lars Von Trier and released in 2000. Selma, played by Bjork, is a woman suffering from a degenerative eye condition and wants to prevent her son from going through the same disease but she lives in a world that is very cruel. (00:03:16) Maddie is actually one of the biggest fans of the podcast and interacts with us and we ask her about it.(00:17:50) "Dancer in the Dark" was distressing to watch and it was juxtaposed with incredibly interesting musical numbers that everyone loved. (00:30:06) Swade loves the ending scene because as a narrative, it shows an idea of death that hits hard but that conversation devolves into Walter freaking out about vomit. (00:46:34) Swade thinks Lars Von Trier has no sympathy for Selma as a character and discusses the harassment that happened between them. (01:06:01) Swade wants to talk about the Bjork stalker but Walter wants to talk about Bjork and they fight. (01:17:14) Finally, Swade can't help and gets excited about Christmas which annoys everyone on the podcast.
