Join me for happy hour with Morgan Grether! As a child, Morgan lived in an isolated Civil War-era house in the woods of eastern Kansas. Picture the kind of setting that would need very little altering to become a horror movie film set. For weeks, his sister was the only one in the home who could hear terrifying voices in her room. She had everyone convinced it was haunted (including herself) until the real culprit was revealed.

Morgan’s Boo Club: Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog
Morgan calls this film a “beautiful testament to the human spirit and human drive; ambition that is all for art and not for money.” Sounds very much like this podcast (that last part, anyway). Color me intrigued!

Description from Wikipedia: Fitzcarraldo (/fɪtskə'raldo/) is a 1982 West German epic adventure-drama film written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog, and starring Klaus Kinski as would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known in Peru as Fitzcarraldo, who is determined to transport a steamship over a steep hill to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon Basin. The film is derived from the historic events of Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald and his real-life feat of transporting a disassembled steamboat over the Isthmus of Fitzcarrald.
