Slow Claps and Rewrites

***Spoilers for Okja****
Dan and Adair review Okja! Unlike the Netflix advertising, your hosts get into the nitty gritty details of this cinematic tour-de-force from Bong Joon Ho. The love of a pet, PETA vs MONSANTO, and Tilda fucking Swinton make this a fascinating fantasy for the modern consumer age.

So go watch the movie and come on back for our thoughts! 

The theater takes center stage while we wait in the wings to take a bow.
Other, far less grating colloquialisms will be peppered throughout the episode along with a brief history or friendship start and stops. It's one of those episodes where too much wine is consumed and too many stories are told. 

**SPOILERS FOR WONDER WOMAN!!**

The Amazon Princess, the spy, the God of War, and these two! 

Dan and Adair deep dive into the movie that has lassoed the world, Wonder Woman!

No man's land! Chucking tanks at Remus Lupin!  And the journey of three racial caricatures!


 

Wandering through the recent Netflix releases, soliciting producers, the challenges of friendship, our Oscar bet resolved, and Joss f@cking Whedon all make for one hell of an episode.

 Adair and Dan are back and grabbing popular entertainment by the script!

*SPOILERS for Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.  2*

Adair and Dan are in the same place! And while Adair is visiting Dan in NYC, they went to the movies! So move over Ebert and Roeper (or someone more relevant) because Slow Claps and Rewrites is doing reviews!
