From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) with Jack

Sean's friend recommended this film and then wanted to review it. Sean had never seen it before. 

Boy, was he surprised...

On Christmas Eve no less!

Discussion Points:

-Sean implores you not to listen to this podcast.

-The massive twist in the film. 

-Sean bins off the trivia because all podcasts use IMDB anyway. 

-Sean's friend desperately tries to bring some structure to the review.

-The era in which the film was made. 

-The fetish-heavy dynamic in this film. 

-Tarantino's knack of writing dialogue.

-The moral ambiguity of most of the characters throughout.

-Sean's mate was NOT happy with The Village (2004).

Raised Questions:

-Did you sneak in a late-night viewing of this film like Sean's friend did?

-Did you think that the film was a Western?

-Are any films as crazy as this?

-Can a flaming man pop corn?

-Is Sean's tactic of bringing guests on to keep him on-topic working?

-How slowly does that border patrol officer close that blind?

Quotes of the episode:

-'I'm in"-Sean is sold on the film after the opening gas station scene.

-"Let's just focus on the first half first".

-"It's sh*t, it's not worth the watch"-Sean's mate succinctly reviews The Village (2004).
