His movies radiated kindness and empathy no matter the subject matter Dear Listener. We talk about the late Rob Reiner in this episode as well as discussing two of the most beautiful, insightful and sad films of the year, Train Dreams and Sorry, Baby.

What makes this version of Frankenstein, (there's been at least 400 others), necessary Dear Listener? Other than the director's obsessive need to get it to the screen - and is that enough?

Bugonia is at the pinnacle of its genre Jett Loe believes, but to say what that genre is would be to spoil a stunning aspect of the picture. With that in mind Jett asks that you listen to this short episode only after watching the film.

A House of Dynamite is a movie designed to generate dread, but do we need something else right now, a picture that points to solutions instead? This question is asked in today's episode as Gareth Higgins and Jett Loe discuss the current political situation in the U.S., A House of Dynamite as a lament and wonder what to do if a train is heading towards us at full speed. Spoilers for Contagion, The Day After, Fail Safe, Dr. Strangelove, Source Code and Conclave.

Be yourself, that's what Diane Keaton did folks. In this episode the work of Keaton is discussed, and there's also some rumination on the previously unknown THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE / TRON connection. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

It's one of the all time greats folks, at least that's what Jett believes. As for Gareth? Even though he found the viewing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER unpleasant, he just might agree.
