Today we're discussing Napoleon (2023) in all its glory followed by the idea of what makes a Final Girl...is Laura Palmer (TWIN PEAKS) considered a Final Girl??? Yes, we're gonna be smoking a cigar. Yes, we're gonna be discussing David Lynch (again). And yes, it's mostly rambling.

The Supreme Ruler and Joe DeRosa's S**t Take — Ep.02

Today we're talking new music from Kublai Khan TX, news about the one and only David Lynch, and trying to figure out why Joe DeRosa (like many) doesn't understand the brilliance of Blade Runner (1982).

Seven Samurai is 70 this year and all I want to know is: How have samurai impacted the way we view authority? Why are we obsessed with them? Also, Mel Gibson...what the actual hell is going on? Why'd he get a career? All this and more in the pilot episode of The Great Escapist Check me out on IG: @theofficialcineman Letterboxd: @southpaw_97 for some shit-posting!
