In this later than usual episode, I decided to revisit the David Cronenberg directed, A History of Violence. Stylistically different from his past works, This family drama of a hidden past punctuated with ummm, violence, is still an essential work of one of cinema's greatest living directors that somehow does not get nearly the amount of recognition deserved. Have a listen & find out why is th...

Its that time again to take another trip to the fifth dimension, known as The Twilight Zone.

Have a listen and find out...
