Do with that what you will. If you need something more lighthearted, watch Rooster or something. Track Ben’s movie reviews at: https://letterboxd.com/bendorsey/

The Handmaiden is applauded by critics and audiences worldwide. Is it as brilliant as they are claim? Or could it just be a flashy, style over substance shocking movie? Or, could it be, that this movie was made by a perverted old man who self-inserts as the main villain while making two actors have gratuitous lesbian sex for hours on end for "the plot"?

Game of Throne's most recent addition is on the pod today, HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's "The Hedge Knight".

It's been a long time coming, this movie has been a favorite of our hosts for a long time. In this episode our hosts talk travels to Hawaii and Japan, recent moves and job market opportunities, and of course talk the movie beat by beat and from feeling to feeling, praising all the above and below the line contributions to the film. This is an all time great movie, what can we learn from talking about it?

Special guest Henry joins our hosts to talk about the divisive but popular Project Hail Mary. During the pod they discuss the science behind it (or lack thereof), starting a book club, Japan, and what is oscar nominated Sanda Hüller doing in a blockbuster starring Ryan Gosling?
