Hello Dear Listener, the gang is back once again to continue the "Anti-Trash" marathon with a look at the Swedish drama, Force Majeure. Force Majeure is Dalton's host pick and things get a little heated as the gang dig deep into the family drama.

We gather around the table as Dustin leads a round table and proposes questions about gender, ambiguity, aesthetics, and truth and how the film handles those subjects. All four hosts present great ideas about societal expectations, gender roles, and color symbolism.

To go along with Force Majeure, we talk about our favorite cinematic or television dads. Either fathers who were memorable in some way or we just love the characters and want them to be our dads.

So, now is the time. Pull on the ski boots, bundle up, and prepare to hit the slopes with us as we talk, Force Majeure.
