The Long Tale

Peter Byhouwer

Professor James Udden is a scholar of Cinema and Media Studies at Gettysburg College. In this podcast, he and his "favorite" student, Peter Byhouwer discuss films and television shows found on The Long Tail. In other words, not blockbusters or current hit series, but everything else that you probably haven't seen and probably do not even know about. But in the age of digital streaming it is likely available at your fingertips.

In this episode Professor Udden and I talk about dark cinema and theorize as to why we and other people enjoy watching films with dark depictions and sad moments and films that do not always have a happy or satisfying ending.
