Ashley pretty much carried this one and informed Jordan that several key moments actually take place in other movies. Also there are some Weasley brothers called Bill and Charlie? Like what the hell?

    8mm is the film this week starring your main man Nic Cage. There was no avoiding a penis joke. Trigger warning for extreme violence, self harm, extreme sexual violence. A little tough to keep things on the lighter side with a film about a snuff film but somehow we do it. Private investigator Nic(Tom) must find the origins of this murder film and Jordan and Ashley must talk about it. Also Joaquin Phoenix has blue hair and has the connection to underground, "weird" sex stuff. We also hit on a killer announcement about audio description and HBO max. Other topics include older disabled folx who don't like progress.

    We continue the spooky theme with this week's title, The Frozen Ground, staring Nicolas Cage (of course), John Cusack, Vanessa Hudgens, 50 Cent (with a mullet), and Hank from Breaking Bad. A little too spooky, considering this is based on a true story. True crime time! This was another tough one to watch without AD (audio description) but was offered on Amazon Prime through subscription. This episode features our first trigger/content warning as the film does include instances of sexual assault. Jordan shares with us that time he lived in Alaska (where our film takes place) and we learn that just because you own your own airplane, does not make you a better serial killer. An honorable mention in this episode goes out to World Trade Center. In honor of 9/11 we wanted to watch the film and chat about it, however we felt our content is a little too flippant for this type of film.
