Season 1, Gen X — Episode 6 — Shallow Grave (1994) w/ William Bigelow
This week DPP is joined by filmmaker William Garcia Bigelow of Sometime the Wolf (2025), Attrition (2013) and The Couple.
Chase and Will discuss Danny Boyle's directorial debut Shallow Grave (1994). Sam, who once briefly lived in a massive flat in Edinburgh as a toddler, (many heinous crimes were committed there), is off sick.

In what ways does Shallow Grave foreshadow the nihilism and violence of later generational films like Trainspotting?
