Ep. 86 - Targets / Tower feat. Vikram Murthi
Description
Today we’re joined by film critic Vikram Murthi for two very different films inspired by the 1966 University of Texas tower shooting. First up is 1968's Boris Karloff-starring TARGETS, the directorial debut of Peter Bogdanovich that featured a fictionalized version of the shooter just two years after the tragedy; and then 2016's TOWER, an animated hybrid documentary told entirely from the ground view of the victims and those who acted to save them.
