Forgive Us Our Cines

Pair these recipes with a film recommendation from Kertese and Ani. Let us know what you decide to try!

In this week's episode, the duo covers the Japanese film, "Perfect Days" starring
Kōji Yakusho and directed by Wim Wenders! If you feel like stress has been piling up on you with no end in sight, then this is the episode for you!

Ani and Kertese briefly discuss Rupi Kaur and her craft of "micro" poetry popularized on Instagram and now published in several books, selling millions of copies. At the end of this episode, the two play a game reading poems back and forth, and guessing whether the poem was written by Rupi Kaur or AI.

Are you into true crime...who are we kidding, you know you are. Listening to stories of people being dismembered and murdered. What kind of sicko listens to that on their morning commute?? Anywho, this week the Duo talks Denis's Prisoners and things take a true crime turn, Dun dun -- wait -- who's there.... ahhh

In this episode, Ani and Kertese dive into Another Round (2020), the Danish film that turns midlife crisis into a champagne-soaked philosophy experiment. They unpack its themes of purpose, burnout, and the blurry line between liberation and self-destruction all while asking the big question: what does it really mean to feel alive again? Equal parts thoughtful and unhinged, this conversation pours one out for the beauty and chaos of being human. 

5 dolla', 5 dolla' any foot long. Or so it was. If you're upset Subway took away the $5 dollar footlong, don't be because FUOC is back for Season 5 baby!!! The Duo is back better than ever ready to serenade your earholes. 

In this episode, Ani pines for his lost love using the 2004 film The Notebook as a vessel.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot:
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned;

In a country already split over coffee choices, sports teams, and whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it does), Civil War brings new perspective to our real-life red vs. blue battles through the lens of the press. And what better time to analyze a film about conflict than right after the 2024 Presidential Election? 

In an alternative timeline where the hit movie Cars is instead about humans who drive cars and run over other people for points, one man will stand up to say, that's not nice. Join the Duo as they talk about the cult classic, Death Race 2000!!
