Episode 087: CINEMA SINGLES

What is a podcast? Is it just a sequence of numbers, letters ,and glyphs scrolling infinitely through space and time only to be deciphered by the machine overlords of the distant future, after humanity’s grand enslavement?

Episode 086: CINEMA SINGLES

Ryan and Kevin sit down to talk about A SINGLE MOVIE. This time they set their sites on a PTA classic, The Master (2012).
