Patrick Mallon, Casey O'Brien
Farthouse
Certified cinephile cuties Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon are here to guide plebs and idiots alike through the world of arthouse cinema. This podcast serves as a spark notes version for those who do not care to watch these movies. Through a highly developed proprietary system called "The Fartsy Test," Casey and Patrick determine on a 10 point scale just how unbearably impenetrable and boring a given arthouse film is. Tune in every week and gain the social currency of talking like a snobbish asshole. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did.
