Cows in the field

Cows in the field offers an intellectually stimulating exploration of cinema, moving beyond conventional film reviews to delve into the profound philosophical, societal, and artistic dimensions of movies. Hosted by a philosophy professor and an art historian, the podcast uses iconic films as a springboard for rigorous academic discussions, often featuring expert guests. Each episode meticulously unpacks a film's themes, connecting them to broader concepts like class consciousness, psychoanalysis, war, and the human condition. This podcast is ideal for cinephiles, students of philosophy and cultural studies, and anyone seeking a deeper, more analytical engagement with film as a powerful medium for understanding ourselves and the world. It distinguishes itself by its academic rigor and its commitment to articulating complex ideas inspired by Werner Herzog's call for critical thought.
