Last Christmas you gave them your heart, the very next day they gave it away this Christmas we give you WATOOL podcast Christmas special...

Merry Christmas film fans from Tom and Ross x

We discuss his long lost final movie "The Other Side of the Wind" and accompanying documentary "They'll Love me When I'm Dead released now on Netflix. We also chat about the Coen brothers return to the Wild West with "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" also now out on Netflix. Product contains other movie based silliness....and nuts. So so many nuts.
