In this show, we are tying into our September retrospective of David Ayer's crime movies with his found footage police procedural End of Watch. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us debate Ayer's use of the found footage aesthetic, how it plays fast and loose with its own rules and whether it adds or detracts from the experience. We also talk about this movie standing out from a crowd of police procedurals by virtue of its raw authenticity and the filmmaker's desire to tip his had to the uniformed servicemen and women guarding the thin blue line, how the organic chemistry between its leads bolsters the film's realism and how the idea of gangsters in minivans recording themselves might be one of the film's most contentious concepts.
Tune in and enjoy!
