Barry Lyndon (1975)

Apr 11th, 2021 50m 47s

Hello! This week, Ryan and Laura talk about (yet another) Stanley Kubrick film, Barry Lyndon! Suffice to say we were... not thoroughly impressed. To us, this film lacks a compelling or substantial plot and characters, which we dig into in our d

Jan 29th, 2021 1h 1m

Unlucky episode 13! Spooky... which befits this week's film, comedy-horror 'An American Werewolf in London' directed by John Landis! This film has some insanely cool practical effects which we wax poetic about, but may leave some things to be d
