Cinematic September lives! This week we look at a pair of forgotten gems, 1990's pirate radio teen drama Pump Up the Volume and the indie samurai film Ghost Dog. We also break down the first look at the upcoming Dune movie, the uproar surrounding the live-action Mulan movie, and try to thread the needle of what the Netflix's controversial film Cuties actually is, versus what people who haven't watched it are saying it is. Also the usual updates on what we've been into including the usuals like Lower Decks and The Boys, plus financial planning books and a welcome return to Kamurocho. It's a beefer this week, y'all.
Stay up with us between episodes on Twitter (twitter.com/geekdownpod) If you'd like to support the show, you can always buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, but we'd still prefer you take that money and give it to an organization fighting to protect Black lives.
