Worth Watching

This amazing film by David Cronenberg is one of Ron’s “drag them to the couch” films, and he finally got an excuse to do that to Guy given that we recently watched another Ed Harris movie, “Needful Things”. (Don’t tell Guy, but this is way better…)

It’s just one of those rare perfectly constructed films that will hopefully go down in film history.

To see why, listen in!
