Chapter Five: The Road to Opposition

Today we discuss the movies we’ve stumbled upon while in prison - I mean quarantine. From   surveying how many movie titles with the word ‘road’ in it to explaining the (quite frankly horrific) plot of the Netflix movie The Platform, in this episode we dive into it all. We’re on the road again...see what I did there?

Chapter Four: A Movie Passion We Can Only Watch Once
