1y ago2:00:51

2:00:51

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film writer (and Poor Things festival viewer) Iana Murray for the most snubbed movie of 2018, in our humble opinion.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer Kyle Turner for William Friedkin's early foray into directing with a definitive gay classic!

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film and TV professor Kyle Stevens for Mike Nichols' 1996 masterpiece. Is this the best ratio of jokes per minute ever put to screen?
