Episode description

For the third movie in our wild card sidequest, Walter Fedczuk introduces Chase Wassenar and special guest Kristen Pignuolo to the 1962 film Taras Bulba. Together, they discuss the historical context of the original novel and Russia's attempt to reclaim this important piece of Ukranian culture, how the movie embraces Cossack culture, and why Chase and Kristen could not get behind the Tony Curtis of it all. They close with a touching tribute to Walter's Ukranian heritage and how it's shaped him to this day.
