A movie analysis show looking at your favorite cult and genre films from across cinema history. Each week, Dustin, Arthur, and Dalton try to apply academic rigor and critical analysis to the films you wouldn’t talk about in a film studies class while having a few laughs along the way. It’s the conversations you have in the lobby of the multiplex with a little more room to breathe, and the occasional footnote. Stay tuned to the feed for bonus episodes on new releases.

And he starts of this violation with the second entry in Alan Pakula's paranoia trilogy, The Parallax View. We talk media, journalism, the 70s, and much, much more this week. Tune in now!
