It's time for Rob's episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM and he is in a bit of a drought, two months in a row where Ray has not liked the movies Rob has recommended. To top it all off, it's Rob's birthday month, a month where he usually prides himself on pushing Ray to the limits of his film tastes. However, due to his current situation, he has decided to switch things up and instead of pushing Ray, he's bringing him something he is guaranteed to love!

Rob is doing this by bringing Ray an absolute classic. A film that embodies why films are made at all, Gene Kelly's 1952 musical comedy, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN! The story of silent film actors who are being forced to transition as talkies begin to take hold, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is pinnacle of the Hollywood musical and an iconic ideal of what classics strive to be. With stellar supporting performances by Debbie Reynolds (THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, MOTHER) and Donald O'Connor (THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, FRANCIS GOES TO WEST POINT), SINGIN' IN THE RAIN captures the heart and hopefully, will capture Ray's. But will it? You'll have to tune in to find out!

In celebration of Rob's birthday, Ray and Rob are biting off more than they can chew again by watching three movies! They're also hoping to find redemption in a film that its own filmmaker has disowned by watching David Lynch's (BLUE VELVET, LOST HIGHWAY) divisive take on Frank Herbert's DUNE as well as the new, more critically heralded DUNE PART I and DUNE PART II, directed by Denis Villeneuve (BLADE RUNNER 2049, PRISONERS)!

Dune '84 was a box office disaster and relegated David Lynch to arthouse filmmaking for the rest of his career, but many argue there are many redeeming factors to his vision that have risen it to the status of cult classic! While Denis was able to take his time and span the story across two films, Lynch was forced to stuff a massive sci-fi epic into a single 2-hour adventure. Ray and Rob are massive fans of the new versions and have decent memories of the original, but will this back-to-back rewatch find them appreciating Lynch's vision more? Or will they find themselves agreeing with Lynch himself that DUNE '84 is better left to the trash bin of history? Tune in to find out!

It's Ray's turn again on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM and he's on a hot streak! He has perfect record so far this season and he's looking to continue the trend! To do this, he's decided is recommending to Rob the 2006 war drama, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY! Starring Cillian Murphy (28 DAYS LATER, PEAKY BLINDERS) and Pádraic Delaney (BLACKTHORN, THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY) as a pair of brothers who join the Irish Republican Army in the Irish War of Independence and then find themselves on opposite sides during the Irish Civil War that followed. A story of family dynamics in war torn times, THE WIND THE SHAKES THE BARLEY is a war movie that expands of tropes of the genre due to its on-the-ground guerilla warfare in the beautiful Irish highlands, as well as the dissecting of the good and bad actions people take to win a war or at the very least, find a moment's peace.

Will the incisive interpersonal relationship of the characters be enough to win the war for Rob? Or will the shirking of genre norms leave him scratching his head? Tune in to find out!
