Nice work with these podcasts--Julien's 'gallery films' are intriguing, that he uses film, rather than video seems especially interesting to me. Initially I thought this might be an overlooked tie to Hollywood, but now think its part of his strategic iconographic play...further leading his viewers toward certain assumptions
And good idea to add the video length to give people a head's up.
I think you did a nice job with the layout as well as the color choices on your text which so nicely coordinates with the stills of his work. The film that I have seen of his is beautiful, rich and surreal. It leaves me feeling almost disembodied. I think you did a really good job on talking about his work too.
