Listen "Episode 73 - "The victim is us! I can't believe I paid for this." [Under the Silver Lake, The Last Dance]"
Episode Synopsis
We open up with some light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel, as theatre chains in the U.S. are eyeing July's release of TENET as a target for re-opening theatres. After that, Jason talks about his recent experience with the 1984 version of DUNE, which he watched to prep for the Denis Villeneuve remake that's on the way. Then we go over the weird and baffling UNDER THE SILVER LAKE from 2018, which has some die-hard fans - but Robert and Jason aren't among them. We also caught up with ARCTIC, the man v. nature feature debut of a prominent YouTuber, and the first few episodes of THE LAST DANCE, the sweeping new Michael Jordan docuseries on Netflix.
