Split Picks: Jim Jarmusch’s ‘The Limits of Control’ Vs. ‘The Dead Don’t Die’

Robert and Bennett join Craig to discuss the extremes of Jarmusch’s style

To celebrate Split Tooth Media’s fourth birthday, Split Picks looks at the evolution of late-career Jim Jarmusch. Robert Delany, a devout Jarmusch fan, brings The Limits of Control (2009) to the Split Picks arena, while Bennett Glace, a skeptic who once rated Down By Law a measly two stars, leads a reevaluation of the star-studded zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die (2017). The conversation centers on how Jarmusch’s films have changed through the years and how his peculiarities differentiate his modern films from his classic early works.

So sing happy birthday to Split Tooth and listen up as we talk about the highs and lows of one of America’s finest independent filmmakers. Thank you for reading, listening, and following Split Tooth over these first four years!
