Why do we love SUCCESSION? The writerss behind "Telladega Nights" and "Anchorman" produced the addictive series SUCCESSION and we can't stop watching. The writing is so mischievious it's easy to forget it's satire when everything seems so serious.
Eugene and Candy welcome Special Agent Sarah to the episode to talk about everything they have enjoyed about the series.
We hope you enjoy this discussion and we hope you email your thoughts and opinions about the series to:

The Agents have a fascinating conversation with filmmkaer Yujiro Seki about his documentary "Carving The Divine." Yujiro tells us about behind-the-scenes personal directive to make a unique movie.
The documentary offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve a legacy in a rapidly changing Japan. Yujiro has made a film that would make Werner Herzog proud in it's ability to contrast the woodcarvers passion for craft up against dominant contemporary culture . Viewers can begin to ask "What is technology? What do I want from my images and objects? Do we value humanity and it's handiwork?
We hope you enjoy this conversation and please follow the address below to watch the documentary...a must see for anyone who enjoys aesthetics, works with their hands or values dedication and fine work. Plus these folks are great and compelling to watch!

"Give us adequate images. We, we lack adequate images, our civilization doesn't have adequate images. And I think our civilization is doomed, is gonna die out like dinosaurs if it does not develop an adequate language or adequate images." Werner Herzog
