Will and Hesse examine two films by director Nicolas Roeg: Eureka (1983) and Insignificance (1985). Eureka stars Gene Hackman as a prospector who strikes an ungodly amount of gold, and explores themes of physical and sexual desire. Insignificance features an imagined conversation between Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joseph McCarthy and Joe DiMaggio, and considers the 20th century through the twin destabilizing forces of atomic destruction and uncontrollable horniness.
