A Swede and a Mexican get together over a cup of coffee (or a fika, if you’re Swedish) to talk about films. This week for our Fika, we talk about Studio Ghibli, the streaming wars and for our main movie we talk in depth about Basic Instinct. The film released in 1992, directed by Paul Verhoeven created quite the controversy with its explicit violence and sexual content. Join us as we discuss whether or not the film has aged like a fine wine or if it’s more like a milk carton that’s been left out for too long.

Join us every other Thursday!

We also have a video version of this episode:
