Real friends do reel reviews really badly.
Episode 73: The Lighthouse - A Movie with no Thesis Statement
"You and the homies, sitting around, talking about the Lighthouse, the gayest movie to ever exist." On this weeks episode, we get some real head butting, as Leander and Hashem talk The Lighthouse (2019), a movie about everything, and nothing. We go through what online reviews can do to a movie, does the movie even have meaning, or maybe, it's all us going insane on an island together. Does a movie really need a cohesive plot? Who knows, cause we sure don't!

In the end, they realize that the real message was the friends they made along the way.

Episode 70: Paprika - I'm An American Now
"Goku's kamehameha doesn't look the same." Jump Cut is back for another anime movie. Pop in for our review and analysis of Paprika (2006). What is it, exactly, that ye olde anime could teach us today? The best use of your 24 frames per second? The superiority of subbed over dubbed? We take the time to learn some of those lessons while navigating through Leander's mind games. Our hosts are especially qualified to teach a crash course on animation, so take an hour-ish out of your day and join.
