Progressively Horrified

I don't think you should listen to this episode when it comes out.

This movie is horrible shit happening for two plus solid hours and it feels like a nightmare and when you run out of animes to take plot and...

It's a movie fu...

Apologies for our lateness, we had our own sort of Christmas Carnage going on around here.

Please enjoy a little post Thanksgiving treat of a preview of our Patreon-only episode released today on Patreon. We went hard in the paint on V for Vendetta, talking about all the many many trans metaphors of the Wachowskis, all the masks that we wear, and fighting fascism - a message that somehow continues being relevant no matter how popular movies about it get.
