Happy pride months big dawg, in this episode we flippantly remark on director Wong Kar Wai and his master piece: Happy together.

Love Y'all.

It's another documentary, nerds! This week, we look at Bobcat Goldthwait's film on the life and work of comedian, activist and author, Barry Crimmins. We have a chat about stand-up comedy, forget some well-known comedians' names and generally have a coupla goofs and gaffs.

T/W: This documentary deals with some heavy stuff, so if you're planning on watching it, please be aware that it contains mention of rape and child sexual abuse. Take care of yourselves, friends!

We love you!

Strap in, friends, because this week, it's Spike Jonze's Her (2013) and boy howdy, do we have a bunch of very lightly-researched opinions on the cyber-future of humanity. Also, we saw The Father, Minari and Another Round, and we've got some micro-reviews for you!

We love you!

Also, here's the link for the essay.

This week, Matt's away doing stupid poops and such, so our dear friend, Rhys Turner, is back with some hot takes on the classic 'dark fantasy family film' (a phrase used to trick children into watching horror movies), The Dark Crystal!

It's a strange and wonderful movie by legends Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and includes such fake words as 'gelfling' and 'skeksis'. Fuck the english language!

We love you!

You like cool fantasy shit? Do you like movies that should be bad but are surprisingly good? Do you like children's movies with gut wrenchingly brutal scenes? well boy do we have a movie for you!

It's vampire time! Instead of watching one of the many popular and successful vampire films, we decided to go with a weird Swedish one: Let the Right One In (2008). 

We hope you enjoy it and always remember that we love you!

We're back! Did we skip a week, or did we just time travel? Who knows? Certainly not this week's returning guest, Rhys Turner, who joins us to discuss Donnie Darko (2001). We dive into whether it's a ground-breaking philosophical text of the modern age, or whether Richard Kelly was just an edge-boy who read the CliffsNotes on some philosophy books. 

We love you!

In this instalment of Joel's monkey movie series, we got drunk and went to the cinema to see the most currently relevant monkey/kaiju movie out there: Goshtilto vs Kum. Many laughs where had and many sips where snuck. This is possibly our shortest episode which is a great indicator of the quality of this movie.

Hey friends, Matt's busy with lawyer's disease this week, so Joel has Finn Griffin back on the show to talk about this cab driver movie and how Jim Jarmusch is god damn great. 

We love you!
