Description

Who’s more preoccupied with the Unwatchable than Todd Solondz, one of the leading misanthropes of the 90’s indie scene? Seth and Marc try to parse out whether his dark, button-pushing comedies have anything meaningful to say about sexual dysfunction and human cruelty… or if the joke’s really on us. First up is 1998’s infamously disturbing (and almost unreleaseable) Happiness, followed by 2004’s experimental abortion drama Palindromes.


Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

On Unwatchables, two movie enthusiasts tackle the films that have been deemed “difficult” or, for one reason or another, just plain Unwatchable. From extreme horror to punishing art films to notorious box office flops, they’ll test their limits and try to pin down what separates the art from the trolling. (Or maybe just see if Marc can break Seth.) At the end of each episode, we answer the same question: If you could, would you Unwatch this? Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus. Find us at unwatchablespod.com.
