Spring has sprung! And there's no better way to get in the mood than joining The Franchisees for Pasolini April. We're discussing the life and work of Italian poet, author, intellectual, and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, a great artist who may not have technically directed a "franchise" but did make a "thematic trilogy" with his three thematically linked adaptations of classical literature collectively known as The Trilogy of Life. Get ready to hear Alex and Ben describe these films as being "bawdy" and "ribald" because they are some of the bawdiest and ribaldest films ever made! Each week, in addition to covering his later period Trilogy of Life, we will also be watching and discussing some of Pasolini's other films. In this episode Alex talks about Pasolini's feature debut Accattone and Ben reveals his spiritual awakening caused by The Gospel According to Matthew. Join us next week for more SEX SEX SEX
