Ep 37Best English Language Foreign Film: The Ruling Class
EThis is the second film by Peter Medak we've reviewed for the podcast, and this blows the other one out of the water. An upper class aristocrat inherits his family's peerage, despite having schizophrenia. A completely unchained Peter O'Toole lights up the screen and fills every frame with insanity.Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

Ep 36Angry in a Good Way: Promising Young Woman
EThis film's title references from the infamous Brock Turner case - the Stanford University student who raped and assaulted an unconscious female student behind a dumpster at a fraternity party. Much was made at the time of Turner's promising future as a swimmer. As his father said in a much publicized court letter, why should his son's life be "deeply altered" for "20 minutes of action"?This film poses the question: Why are we willing to sacrifice promising young women for promising young men?Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

EThis mesmerizing thriller stars Kim Hye-ja, an actress known in South Korea for playing archetypal mother roles on TV.

Ep 32All Those Peens: Zola

Ep 26Soft Pale Child: Office Killer
EOffice Killer (1997): A mousy office worker kills off her coworkers. You'd think that would be a feel-good romp, but instead it's a drab and lifeless drag - and a total waste of Carol Kane.

EClifford tells the story of a 10-year-old boy (played by a 40-year-old Martin Short) who stays with his uncle Martin (Charles Grodin) while his parents are on a business trip in Honolulu.
