Soderbergh Ep. 4: King of the Hill (1993) with Jason Miller
Description
What to do next after KAFKA doesn't quite hit...how about adapting a boyhood memoir by the guy who helped Paul Newman bottle his salad dressing? We continue Soderbergh's less-remembered beginnings with 1993's KING OF THE HILL, a subtly brutal Depression-era bildungsroman in which a boy gets so hungry he eats pictures of food - and joining us is film writer Jason Miller! Listen along for a discussion of cinematographer careers, macroeconomics, proper marbles technique, and Spalding Gray. Good ep, even without Boomhauer and all the rest of those guys!
