#164 - Schindler’s List | Directed by Steven Spielberg (with Kate)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as Arthur’s pal Kate comes back around to the program for a breakdown of Schindler’s List, the 1993 Holocaust drama that covers the real-life tale of German industrialist and Nazi Party member Oskar Schindler as he ends up using his factory work to rescue over a thousand Jews. Considering the genocide that Israel has been committing against Palestine for the past nine months (or really, for decades), it’s timely to go back through history and focus on a previous genocide. Frustrations with the sanitization of the dickweasel parts of Schindler’s life, the movie’s choice to draw parallels between Schindler and Nazi Amon Göth, and the hosts’ favorite film composers comprise a few of the talking points for this episode.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Schindler’s List stars Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, Embeth Davidtz, Ezra Dagan, Wojciech Klata, Bettina Kupfer, and Ludger Pistor.
