This week we look at a somewhat recent horror movie, Mandy. It is very beautiful and very crazy, features a great unhinged Nicholas Cage performance and seems to be at least somewhat influenced by David Lynch. It’s definitely the kind of movie you want to talk about after you see it!
Jun 20, 202301:00:56

Sanditon, S3 E6

Sanditon, S3 E1
This week we cover episode one of the third and final season of Sanditon. We once again travel to the seaside town of Sanditon and it seems like love is in the air. We predict that everyone will fall in love this season and just wonder with who, but there are still villainous men afoot.

Room 104
This week we watched a couple of episodes of Hotel Room’s spiritual successor, Room 104. We chose 2 random episodes, “Swipe Right” from season two and “Crossroads” from season three. The comparison to Hotel Room was illuminating and we really enjoyed the performances in both episodes.
Apr 11, 202351:30

Hotel Room
This week we cover David Lynch’s Hotel Room, a hard to find short lived show from 1992. It was on HBO but only 3 episodes were ever made. It’s interesting and strange and may not have lived up to it’s potential but it had a great cast and some interesting premises.

The Road to El Dorado, 2000
