Sebastian Corbascio OK, I went into this knowing NOTHING. I loaded the podcast, and pretty much forgot about it, until it was the last in line to listen to. I had a feeling that this was going to be one of those moments when you get blown away when you least expect it.I was intrigued the way that the casters were talking about this film, I looked at some scenes...holy moly...One of those all too rare head exploding moments you get in the movies...Mike White Hey, thanks so much for listening! I'm so glad we could turn you on to a great movie!
