  • The Platform (2019) - NETFLIX
    First off, APOLOGIES for the delay, it was another late Sunday record. 

    We are back in the off season discussing Spanish sci fi (ish) horror (ish) movie, the Platform, on Netflix. It takes place in a vertical prison, a platform of food gets lowered from the top, only stopping for 2 mins per day to feed, with each level getting only the leftovers from the previous ones. Great concept! We discuss the movie, what we liked, and we chat about how WE would react as cell-mates in this place.

    We also discuss the Champions League final, and Terry went to see Everything Everywhere All at Once and he is now a changed man. Enjoy!
