First, we must apologize, for Filmcast Without a Cause is made of the same material as the sun. Second, this is no normal episode of FWOAC. Due to Memorial Day messing with our usual recording schedule, we decided to record early and mess with the formula a little. This week's show is an in-depth look at Shane Carruth's latest film Upstream Color. The first half of the show is a discussion of the theme and our reactions to it's style, the second half we spoil the plot. We would normally apologize for spoiling, but this film sort of demands it.

Maybe you've heard of this film, maybe you haven't either way we both HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stream it on Amazon before listening to this episode.
