The In Crowd (2000)
A bunch of nihilistic rich dummies have some dark secrets while Dan, disappointed by a lack of orgies, lays out his anti-wealth manifesto.
Episode 122:
The Apartment (1960)
Nearly 60 years old, this film still has much to say about elevating empathy and doing away with duplicitous assholes.
Episode 121:
48 Hours To Live (2016)
A dead sister, an underground drug operation, the blazing Los Angeles EDM scene—but nothing that interesting, really.

Episode 113:
Cool World (1992)
Similar to Cool World itself, this episode went off the rails with our first ever technical malfunction. But we got through it somehow, and bring you our incredibly scatter-brained thoughts on a film that truly cannot be coherently explained.
Episode 112:
Tootsie (1982)
It’s a thematic deep dive this week as we unravel this surprisingly complex 80s comedy.
Episode 111:
Foodboy (2008)
He’s a boy who manifests food out of the pores of his skin, which is as gross as it sounds.
Episode 110:
My Dinner With Andre (1981)
