play

11/12/23 • 31 min

It's hard to put this weeks film into words. Out of the many movies we have covered, this review of 'Do the Right Thing' definitely goes deeper into the symbolism of the events and characters shown in the film. But we like to keep things light, so this week, get ready for Gus Fring if he did the meth and one of the best names of any character ever (Mister Señor Love Daddy).

This week we bring you an episode where the guest doesn't even like the film! We thought doing Dune now would be fitting since part 2 of the modern dune films has just released. In this episode you can expect a space pug, casual nuclear warfare and a baby with more knowledge than you could ever think possible!
