The Men Who Talk

Kino Kingdom 85: It's All in the Hips

The boys are back after a jailbreak, and they are dancing in the moonlight as they mourn the passing of Carl Weathers, who sadly now adorns the ArkinZ'Bar in framed photographic form to be remembered and celebrated forever. They also discuss psychics, Oscar nominees, freeform film-making, one of the worst films Britt has ever seen, and some films that were -unsurprisingly - not nominated for Oscars...Like Wrongfully Accused.
