The filmmaker who coined the term "ecstatic truth" becomes the subject of a memorable docu-fiction hybrid in INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS (2004), in which Werner Herzog joins forces with Hollywood screenwriter Zak Penn to create a hoax involving the Loch Ness Monster. PLUS: Are these the last days of the Justin Trudeau government?

Sweet, I once nominated this as a superdelegate.

Myles Bartoli

Oh, the Family Ness theme! Good call!

This reminds me of the famous incident where Will Sloan pulled a gun on baby yoda to direct him in The Mandalorian

Excellent choice with the Family Ness closeout. I want to recommend an episode on Jimbo in the future...

The Family Ness theme is one I haven't heard since I were a wee lad. If I could produce tears, I would be crying now

Love Will fuming at the rando worker just making conversation by telling him he saved a couple bucks at Subway. “No, sir, it’s a gimmick! A political gimmick I say!!!” For better or worse, people just Do respond to anything that saves them any amount of money they’d previously be paying, no matter how pitifully small. The NDP plan to expand this would’ve gotten more people onboard. Of course with (untaxed) groceries up literally 19% since Nov. 2021, none of this amounts to much anyhow.

Family Ness theme tune is a deep cut! As a Scottish person I can confirm that its depiction of life in Scotland is 100% accurate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦖

My favorite Herzog ecstatic truth/bullshit moment is the story about how he was making a film about the legend of a lost city at the bottom of a Russian lake, and filmed a peasant out on the frozen lake gazing into its depths trying to glimpse the city. But it was actually a local who had gotten drunk and passed out on the ice.

Any chance we could get a pass behind the paywall for the trash future episode? Is that gauche?

Iain

Joining the chorus of voices saluting your choice of The Family Ness theme as an outro. I trust we'll get some Super Gran content in future episodes.

Tom Patron

For Will only: thoughts on Tom Sandoval representing himself in court for his lawsuit with Rachel?

Is Freeland angling to replace Justin before the next election? Would it be possible?

As the saying goes, "The man who represents himself has a fool for a client." But we must consider the possibility that he's doing it because he has no money. -WS

I don’t know much about their relationship outside of the professional one they had, but some of what Herzog says about cinema verite seems like a bit of a swipe at Les Blank? Maybe not though!

Tim Halle

If you aren't familiar with the Crypto-zoology scene, it might be difficult to recognize this as the "This is Spinal Tap" of the genre, which it most certainly is.
