In lieu of our regularly scheduled programming (and definitely not scheduling errors or miscalculation of a certain film's availability) your humble hosts sat down to chat about their backgrounds, approaches to film criticism, and some of their favorite movies.

In Odd Splice's definitive take on love in cinema, Caleb pits Barry Jenkins' beautiful and heartbreaking If Beale Street Could Talk against Josh's pick, Boots Riley's hilarious and scathing Sorry to Bother You. While Wes faces his most difficult decision yet, the gang is joined by resident James Baldwin expert Alex, and newly minted sister podcaster LA of the Libated Film Critic podcast(@libatedfilm)!
