This week we to celebrate the 200th episode, we break the formula to examine the film that… well simply cannot be paired with another. We watch the film and provide views and thoughts alongside as The Room simply breaks all previously held notions on film analysis and criticism. This isn’t a watch along, it’s not real time however it is chronological and we aim to contextualise each of the random outbursts of laughter the film provokes. There may have been alcoholic beverages consumed during the recording. It’s the only way we could think to celebrate 200 episodes; a drink, a laugh and could one of the characters actually be a masked vigilante? Next week we’ll be joined by BBC film critic Van Connor (@vanconnor) to discuss Urban Meltdowns.
