Ep. 39 - The Congress (The Matrix vs. Vanilla Sky)

THE CONGRESS presents us with an interesting choice in it's story of a fictional version of Robin Wright... And since we won't pretend to understand this film completely, though it is fun to try, we present a simpler choice to our audience: THE MATRIX vs. VANILLA SKY.

GUEST: Christopher Maynard of Following Films tries to help us in our choices, but we still end up in a car with an agitated Cameron Diaz.

Ep. 37 - Boyhood (Tape vs. Before Sunset)

GUEST: JD Duran of InSession Film joins me to defend our love of the BEFORE trilogy to our respective fantasy football leagues.

GUEST: Christopher Maynard of Following Films joins us to talk classic films that can feel like homework, remakes, and to make fun of Mike's headphones.
