We kick off this week's episode by chatting about Anthony Kiedis's omission in his memoir Scar Tissue of an eyebrow-raising relationship with a 14-year-old (wait, what??) and how Logan (aka the cucumber guy on TikTok) has taken over our entire feed.
But this week, we're watching some of the new films to hit Amazon Prime, including "Love Lies Bleeding" and "Monkey Man". While our opinions of Love Lies Bleeding are mixed (and apparently we're not alone in these feelings), we see how the film offers a unique appeal for fans of strong female leads and complex narratives. Dev Patel's Monkey Man is giving us big John Wick vibes, with a trans sub-plot. With its blend of revenge, transformation, and heartfelt subplots, we couldn't help but love it.
Tune in and don't forget to tune in next week where we'll have a special episode dedicated entirely to the Toronto International Film Festival.
