This week on Operation Kino we're struck silent in awe of the almighty Fassbender penis. That's right, it's time to review Shame, the latest collaboration between Michael Fassbender and director Steve McQueen. From there we go into a discussion of the movie's NC-17 rating, and whether it's possible or even necessary to erase the stigma around NC-17. But first we've got a lightning round dedicated to, yes, the Fassbender penis, and then tidbits, in which Da7e admires the insanity of American Horror Story, David is looking over some of the better film scores of the year, Patches wants you to all listen to radio once in a while, and Katey has a few words about the sudden critical acclaim for The Artist. We end, as always, with your lightning round answers for dessert.

Take a listen below and find your downloading options; for more from all of us, you can follow the show (@opkino), Da7e (@da7e), David (@davidehrlich or @CriterionCorner), Patches (@misterpatches) and me (@kateyrich) on Twitter.
