No podcast is ever just a podcast - especially this episode, where after 5+ years of doing this thing we're finally getting around to talking about a Stanley Kubrick film. Hopefully the wait was worth it, because it's lead to one of our most divisive, unwieldy and longest discussions ever. Is Eyes Wide Shut a film that peels back the layers of a conspiracy related to real life horrors (a la Jeffrey Epstein), or is it really just a pitch-black comedy about Tom Cruise not being able to get laid? Regardless of our conclusion, hopefully you enjoy the ride.

What's the most you've ever lost on a podcast? Erm I mean coin toss! We're back to talk about the Coen brothers once again, with their 2007 neo-western/crime-thriller adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel 'No Country for Old Men'. This film takes a simple game of cat-and-mouse between anti-hero and villain and turns into a strangely poetic tale about morality and the passage of time. A critical, commercial, and award-winning success upon release, it is often (rightfully) cited as one of the greatest modern films.

A lot of people don’t realize what’s really going on…they view life as a series of unconnected incidents, but you can’t blame the lattice of coincidence for us wanting to talk about Alex Cox’s 1984 film Repo Man. This cult-favorite sci-fi comedy sees both punk-rock and blue-collar tangled up in government conspiracy in the most hastily duct-taped together way imaginable that somehow just works. Society might’ve lead of led you to the sorry fate of listening to this podcast, but the least you can do is grab a snack, and enjoy the mayhem with us - just make sure to
