EP.218 - WERNER HERZOG
Adam talks with legendary German filmmaker, writer and actor Werner Herzog about AI poetry, email etiquette, why LA is like ancient Rome, the Japanese soldier who hid in the jungle believing the 2nd World War was still happening for 29 years, the value of therapy and whether trauma and conflict are best dealt with or buried, what his problem is with David Blaine and why someone needs to send Werner into orbit. Conversation recorded remotely on 8th December 2023 Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.
