Three old and bitter cinephiles—each with a lifetime of grudges, wisdom, and war stories, gather for their most cantankerous conversation yet. This week, they’re joined by fresh-faced aspiring actress Newsha Sadri, whose optimism and insight provides a much needed contrast with their weathered perspectives, as well as an inside look at the inner workings of the movie industry as a whole.
Together, they dissect the ever-evolving landscape of cinema and acting—bemoaning the rise of franchise fatigue, digital de-aging, and social media stardom. Sparks fly, laughs erupt, and surprising moments of vulnerability sneak in as each host reveals their Top 5 Favorite Films of All Time—lists that reveal as much about themselves, as their cinematic taste.
It’s a raw, funny, and strangely touching episode about art, aging, and the eternal love/hate relationship with the silver screen.
