привет! While I was editing the episode and reveling over The Sacrifice I kept kicking myself for pairing Stalker with EoE as The Sacrifice would have been a much better pairing, but I digress. Welcome to our first ever Bond episode! Spoiler alert, the connection between these two moves is Russia. For our shot we transcended time and space with Andrei Tarkovsky's final film, The Sacrifice. To chase this down we watched the 2nd (bes...

What better way to hammer home that basketball season is over than by doing an entire basketball themed episode? I am in hell. On this week's episode, the gang watched Spike Lee's He Got Game.

It was A Real Pain having to watch Emilia Perez! After the nominations (awful) were announced we decided to take the next few weeks to knock out some of the heavy hitters for these years Academy Awards beginning with THE most controversial film Emilia Perez. A wildly racist AND transphobic hunk of waste! To chase this down, we watched Jesse Eisenberg's A Real Pain which was neither racist nor transphobic! Huge W there. We go over ...
It's Oscar szn baby! To kick things off, the boys took a day trip to the Alamo and witnessed The Brutalist in all it's glory. To chase this down, we checked out the Mubi doc Grand Theft Hamlet, a movie filmed entirely in GTA online.

Being...
Absolutely insane that the last David Lynch movie we watched together was Dune mere days before his death.
