  • Episode 35 - Do the Right Thing (1989)
    It's hard to put this weeks film into words. Out of the many movies we have covered, this review of 'Do the Right Thing' definitely goes deeper into the symbolism of the events and characters shown in the film. But we like to keep things light, so this week, get ready for Gus Fring if he did the meth and one of the best names of any character ever (Mister Señor Love Daddy).

  • Episode 33 - The Shining (1980)
    The Shining is seen as one of the best examples of psychological horror ever, so we decided to watch it and judge for ourselves.
