Episode 18 - Wiener Dog - a podcast by One Week Only - Podcast

Episode 18 of One Week Only! Huge week for independent films! Our key film of the week is the dark comedy “Wiener Dog” by Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse). 4 stories connected by a wiener dog as he moves from owner to owner, this is a strange but hilarious and at times heartfelt film about lost people searching for something in life. Featuring a great cast, including Julie Delpy, Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito & Ellen Burstyn, it comes to LA & NY today, and expands to more theatres nationwide next weekend! Produced by Killer Films, and distributed by IFC Films & Amazon Studios.

This week on our “Not Yet in Theatres” segment, we interview directors Fidel Ruiz Healy & Tyler Walker about their dark satirical comedy “The Homefront,” about a family trying to live a normal life in the middle of an invasion of the United States. It just premiered at the Dances With Films festival, and we are glad to have them on the show!

Other films we cover this week include “Swiss Army Man,” the crazy existentialist comedy by the Daniels and starring Paul Dano & Daniel Radcliffe; animal rights documentary “Unlocking the Cage” by Chris Hegedus & DA Pennebaker; visually dazzling “The Neon Demon” from auteur Nicolas Winding Refn & starring Elle Fanning; Israeli comedy/drama “The Kind Words” by Shemi Zarhin, New Zealand adventure film “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows); and the fascinating animated documentary “Nuts!” by Penny Lane.
