The gang perfects their thousand yard stare this week, as they review one of the most effective war movies ever put to film,  Come and See. Flor is a 15 year old Belarusian boy with a romanticized view of what war means. He leaves his mother and twin sisters to join the resistance again Hitler and his nazi foot soldiers, who are hell bent on exterminating all of the Belarusian citizens. Over the course of the next couple hours, the audience is front and center, as we watch Flor devolve from an optimistic young man, to a broken shell of his former self. Does Come and See deserve the hype? Were the questionable means used to film it justified, or not? Watch along for free at the link below, then listen in.

The gang learns a lot about a man based on when he washed his hands, this week, as they review Best Picture winner The Shape of Water (2017). Eliza is a lonely mute woman who works as a janitor at a CIA research facility that houses an amphibious creature known only as The Asset. Eliza forms a kidship with the God-like creature as they bond over their loneliness, inability to form speech, and their love of eggs. Kinship turns to romance as the story unfolds, and The Asset breaks free from his government captivity. How did the gang like this masterfully told fantasy tale? Watch the movie on Hulu, then listen in to find out!

The gang has the end built into the beginning this week, as they review Charlie Kaufman's brain child, Synecdoche; New York (2008). Not to be confused with Schenectady, NY, the city... Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, much like this movie, and much like the play being staged within the movie. Brought to us by the writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, and Adaptation., this surreal life spanning think piece is in a league all its own, cinematically. Best not to read anything about it, but go in blind... once you've experienced it once, then maybe you can start to think about what it all means. Then watch it again... or don't. Or just listen to us talk it through.
