Boy, was he surprised...

On Christmas Eve no less!

Discussion Points:

-Sean implores you not to listen to this podcast.

-The massive twist in the film.

-The fetish-heavy dynamic in this film. 

-Tarantino's knack of writing dialogue.

-The moral ambiguity of most of the characters throughout.

-Sean's mate was NOT happy with The Village (2004).

Raised Questions:

-Did you sneak in a late-night viewing of this film like Sean's friend did?

-Did you think that the film was a Western?

-Are any films as crazy as this?

-Can a flaming man pop corn?

-Is Sean's tactic of bringing guests on to keep him on-topic working?
