Gummo (1997)

What's up nerds! We're back to talk about Harmony Korine's infamous directorial debut, GUMMO -and it's another banger. Join us for a look at Chloe Sevigny's career beginnings, the naturalistic production of the film and debate the shocking, controversial nature of what's put on screen. For some reason, we also take a detour to unpack THE WHALE.

Next Week: DEMONLOVER (2002)
