4M ago1:09:51

1:09:51

Send us a text It’s Christopher Nolan’s palindromic reverse-athon “Tenet” under the review microscope this week. Perversely, the boys may not actually know what they are talking about for once.

6M ago56:08

56:08

Send us a text A slightly different discourse this week, as we talk about 2004’s movie Primer.
