Get philosophical with us this week as we contemplate our place in the universe with WAKING LIFE (#18 on the board), the 2001 Richard Linklater directed experimental adult-animation film. We're joined this week by Drew's longtime friend Mike O'Donnell to help us sift through the good, the bad, and the weird of this lucid dream of a film.

This week we're back to Horror to cover a movie that created an entire sub-category in the genre. We're talking THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (#17 on the board), one of the most successful movies of all time from a budget to profit perspective, and the movie that in many ways created the found-footage horror film, spawning dozens of imitators over the years.

We're taking the week off for the holidays but as a special gift for our listeners we are dropping this compilation of a few weeks worth of chinwaggery about the Disney+ show, ANDOR. As the segments were recorded weeks apart, there will be a little bit of repetition and rawness to it, but hopefully it encourages everyone to check out this show. It is well worth your time. Check back in next week for our episode on EX MACHINA. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
