The Searchers

Remember, everyone: our release schedule is every two weeks now. On this one, Ben and Chris review The Lover from 1992, which was fairly controversial for the time. Now, probably not so much. Chris asks Ben about sexual content depicted in movies, and it gets... "heated." Even though the film is an erotic romance/drama set in the Far East, somehow we still end up discussing a bit of the new John Wick and Chris' coworker eating Kangaroo. C'est la Vie!
