On this episode, JD and Megan discuss the latest film from Netflix in ENOLA HOLMES 3! It's weird how the film came and went without any fanfare and barely any discourse. The tepid response to this film is interesting given how well received the first two were, but perhaps that's why Netflix kept it so quiet. What did you think of ENOLA HOLMES 3?

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss not just one of the best surprises of the year, but generally one of the year's best films in TUNER! Leo Woodall gives one hell of a performance in a movie that shouldn't work, and yet it all somehow comes together wonderfully. Which is to say, we had a blast dissecting this one. What did you think of TUNER?
