227: Following w/ Kyle Buchanan

It's not every day that we get to talk about the first film in a legendary career, which is why we brought in Kyle Buchanan (New York Times, Author of Blood Sweat and Chrome) to talk about Christopher Nolan's feature film debut, FOLLOWING.

Bonus Patreon 2009: Fast and Furious w/ Griffin Newman

Widely considered one of the worst in the franchise, we break down why this movie only gets better with age, acting as a bridge between what the franchise was, and what it will eventually become.

Tom Lorenzo (You're Missing Out Podcast) joins us to talk about our second and final Mark Wahlberg film of 1999, THE CORRUPTOR.
