Esoterica Cinema

Inspired by Four Lions. Written and produced by Ryan Seybold. Performed by Deborah Peters, Jason Peters, and Ryan Seybold.

Jason and Ryan strap on their protective gear and attempt to handle this volatile, explosive comedy in 2010's Four Lions from director Christopher Morris.

Listen now and find out on this week's episode of Esoterica Cinema!
