Greetings programs! On this week's show, we're taking on two exciting films. First up, a BC shot indie film that played as part of the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival, Inedia. Then we turn our attention to a new Netflix release, the single location mystery movie It's What's Inside. Both of these films are exciting for some of the same, and some entirely different reasons, and we have a lot to say about each of them! Additionally we talk about Transformers One for a solid few minutes, which means this episode has coverage of three films we both liked!

BONUS CONTENT:

Greetings patrons! This week's bonus round has Matthew asking what our favourite version of "And Then There Were None" is because there are lots to choose from, and Simon asks us to consider which films Hans Zimmer didn't score, but we would like to hear a score for by him.
