Through a highly developed proprietary system called "The Fartsy Test," Casey and Patrick determine on a 10 point scale just how unbearably impenetrable and boring a given arthouse film is. Tune in every week and gain the social currency of talking like a snobbish asshole. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did.
