Happy 2025!

As a special New Year treat, here's part two of our breakdown of Louise Linton's comedy (?) thriller (?), Me You Madness - a film made by someone with far too much money and far too little talent. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe. We did this for our Patrons a couple of years ago.

Part one went out on Christmas Day, so check that out first if you haven't already!

We're sorry/you're welcome.

Happy Festivus!

As a special bonus treat, here's our breakdown of Louise Linton's comedy (?) thriller (?), Me You Madness - a film made by someone with far too much money and far too little talent. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe. We did this for our Patrons a couple of years ago.

There's a LOT to hate about this film, so this is just part 1 - the rest will follow on New Year's Day, to properly set the tone for 2025.

We're sorry/you're welcome.
