Ep. 43: Changeling (2008) with Bilge Ebiri

Get ready to sue the LAPD, everybody: this week we're examining Clint's 2008 child abduction docudrama CHANGELING with critic and writer Bilge Ebiri! From the metatextual depth of Angelina Jolie's performance to the film's status as Clint's first ACAB movie to ongoing moves by the state to use forced institutionalization against unhoused and other "inconvenient" people to Bilge's childhood memories of Clint (and of Peter Medak's THE CHANGELING), this is a real corker of a chat! Excited to share it with you, our beloved listeners, whom we love as if you were our own uncircumcised children.

Topics include:  Here are Bilge's pieces on Clint that we mention in the episode:
