Content warning: our feature presentation this week features discussions of abortion. As always, we attempt to be as sensitive as we can be in discussing it, but we understand if it's still too much for some listeners.
September comes to a close as we talk Céline Sciamma's period romance masterpiece Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Josh breaks down how this film helped him to come out, we talk the influences of Ingmar Bergman, and we finally answer the question on everyone's minds: is Céline Sciamma the greatest director of all time?
Other topics include: G.I. Joe Retaliation a.k.a. the most polarizing film of all time, Josh and Joey's trip to see the IMAX remaster of Stop Making Sense, and Jackson's massive start to Spooktober with next week's pick.
