The Worst of 2023 rolls forward with a breakdown of Oscar-winning writer/director Florian Zeller's followup to The Father... The Son. He went from winning an Oscar for Best Screenplay to... THIS!? Gabe Elder-Gomes joins the guys to break this baffling representation of mental illness from... someone else's perspective? What is happening? They discuss the gameshow environment and a very unprofessional doctor, the jarring tone shift in the dance sequence, Anthony Hopkins' fantastic performance in a 5-minute scene, comparisons to Sia's Music and much, much more.

Apologies for the dodgy (but totally listenable) audio at times - we were having what we call in the business....errr.... technical... times.

Next week: we cap off our "Recently Regrettable" series with another horror "treat."

What We've Been Watching:

"BEEF"

"Spider-Man 2" (videogame)

"The Curse"
