Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 117: The Seventh Seal (1957)

Life! Death! God! Devil! Contrast! Swedes! Calvin Kemph, of the Twin Geeks, makes his Canon debut to talk some Seventh Seal. Cal and Raf rank the top US cities, commiserate over bad baseball teams, and dive into the Seattle grunge scene. Sprinkled in is some chatter about Bergman’s 1957 masterpiece and what it means to “do philosophy”.
