The Olympics threw a bit of a wrench into the TV schedule in February but that just meant there was more time to catch up on other things – though at my house, it was full on Olympic obsession which even led to multiple devices streaming various events which were happening at the same time. I feel like kudos need to be sent out to CBC and their excellent Olympic app which made it super easy to catch all of the action.
This week, Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) check in and share what we’ve been watching, listening to and reading!
Two bits of video we mention on the show:
- Open Culture article on Georgian fighting women
- YouTube documentary on Georgian fighting women

Closing Music: Run the Jewels’ “Legend Has It“
After seeing “In the Fade” I definitely recommend you check out Fatih Akin’s other films, especially “Head On” and “The Edge of Heaven”. He has a really unique point of view and always manages to mix Turkish and German politics and culture. Quite flexible jumping between gritty turbulent romance, light-hearted comedy, and ambitious interweaving drama. I assure you, none of them are quite as depressing as In the Fade.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to search them out!
If you eventually check out “Soul Kitchen”, you’ll have a hard time believing the same guy directed In the Fade and Head On.
