Loathing and Loathing

This week we watch Trevor Simms' feature debut Adrenochrome, a homage to 1960s counterculture, and Eric Eason's Journey to the End of the Night, a look at the boring side of crime in Sao Paulo that you shouldn't confuse with the classic novel of the same name.
Also Craig receives a threat, a curse, and a proposal of sitcom love. Tyler finds his other half. Kevin learns some gypsy magic and Dave lashes out against the pain a little more, uh, vigorously than expected.

Episode 42- Loathing and Loathing

Jagbirth

This week we start a campaign to get Craig's dream film made, #WernerSeige2 . Before we knew it we were caught up in a mass hysteria and joined The Hunt. The aftermath left us feeling even more despondent than ever and, being thoroughly modern, we overcompensated by joining Rebirth, a cult with a complete line of items for your everyday life. So sit down, flip through our amazing Rebirth catalog, and join us, won't we?

We Crack Tyler Like a Dark Diamond

This week RotP sits down to discuss Peter O'Toole's last film, Diamond Cartel, Buddy Giovinazzo's drug drama, Life is Hot in Cracktown, and our second of three viewer picks, The Dark Crystal. We learn that Kazakhstan has an...um... interesting film scene, confirm that one of us really needs to watch The Wire, and force Tyler to watch his most hated film ever, a move that takes him as close to the breaking point as he has ever been. All that and so much more.
