Shownotes

This film doesn't have fans, just fanatics, although it seems like not man people have heard of it. Terrence Malick's wonderful movie The New World takes center stage for this episode.

We talk through the history that provides the backdrop of this film: Pocahontas, John Smith and the founding of Jamestown. The clash of civilisations, what we've lost by becoming so decoupled from nature and why has no one heard of this movie?

Plus: Colin Farrell's 'hairy badass stage', the brilliance of Q'orianka Kilcher, the importance of the documentary style and what this movie would have looked like if Mel Gibson had directed it.
