Andrew and special guest, Nicholas Stonehouse, deconstruct the mystifying and creeptastic South Korean horror/thriller, The Wailing, from 2016. Written and directed by Na Hong Jin (The Chaser), this spooky spectacle of eclectic vibes, colors, and meanings will give you something different to wail about every time you watch it!

Andrew and Stonehouse dive into such topics as the nature of ”confusing” cinema, what makes The Wailing truly unique, the different interpretations of a most complicated villain, what scared Andrew and Stonehouse and why, and much more!

Andrew and special guest, writer and director Jesse Mendelsohn, take a whack at the intriguing sports drama, Moneyball, from 2011. Directed by Bennett Miller and written by powerhouses Steven Zailian and Aaron Sorkin, this entertaining and extremely well-acted true story portrait of a man who changed everything in professional baseball is a masterclass example of a film that is much more meaningful than it appears to be!

Andrew and Jesse discuss such topics as the one-of-a-kind presence and artistry of Brad Pitt in this film, how the story transcends merely the topic of baseball, the emotional and meaningful story of lead character Billy Beane, how the film accomplishes powerful commentary with subtlety, and so much more.

IT'S TIME TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE!!

Andrew and special guest, writer and director Adam Seccafico, dive deep into the ultra-controversial, gritty indie classic, Bad Lieutenant, from 1992. Written and directed by Abel Ferrara, this raw and uncompromising character study of a corrupt New York City law enforcer descending into madness might just leave you wanting to hug a teddy bear by the end!

Andrew and Adam cover such topics as which scenes disturbed them the most and why, the questionable spirituality of the protagonist, whether or not the notorious scenes are even necessary, thoughts on the striking arc of the protagonist, the ultimate thesis of this difficult film, and much more.

LET'S GET NAUGHTY IN NEW YORK!!
