Jackie Chan is BACK in the mix on Kino Klash. And Kino Klash is back recording (mostly) in one room! Apologies! Audio is a little mid here! Ryan's pick, Sexy Beast, is up against Brenden's pick, Police Story!

Hey Klasher's, get ready to go down the rabbit hole because this one's a Blowout!

"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say 'My tooth is aching' than to say 'My heart is broken.'" - C.S. Lewis

OOPS! All good movies!

Hey! Bit of a weird one here today! Kyle and Brenden try their best to talk about Friends but pretty quickly devolve into a funeral dirge for the multi-cam sitcom once they realize Ryan's not there to redirect them. Enjoy if you dare!

Time for a KLASSIC Klash! We've got Kyle's western drink of choice, High Noon, in a standoff with Alex's favorite Teletubby theme park, La La Land. In this episode: -Kyle attempts to overturn a Presidential Pardon -Alex invents the "Lone Ranger" through pure parallel thinking -Brenden proves he WAS a theater kid (shocking)(impossible)

"It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace. " - Chuck Palahniuk

This was a weird one... Kyle's number 9 pick, It's Such a Beautiful Day, brawls it out with Brenden's number 8, What's Up Doc.

The battle of high concept sci-fi films! Alex's pick, Arrival , attempts to decode the confusing language of Brenden's pick, Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. Who could predict the outcome of this one? Does it even matter? Does anything?
