First-time guest Evan Culbertson joins the podcast to lend their extensive knowledge of Iranian film to our game but less-familiar hosts. There's a lot to unpack here, and each of those items has the additional weight of having to consider cultural differences. It's a long discussion, but a worthwhile one. TL;DR great movie, please watch and listen.
First, though, the recently watched. We touch on the Oscars with some extra-planetary Damon discussion, beat the rotting corpse of The Revenant a time or twelve more for good measure, and stump for kids content that doesn't talk down to its audience.
Also, Tyler won't shut up about Chi-raq, so... that's a thing.

Evan: The Martian - it's okay! Matt Damon - more impressive than Leo! A plea for mid-tier movies and the return of Steven Soderbergh (you're welcome). The 100 continues the CW's wining streak.
Kayla: Having all the feelings about Big Hero 6 and kids movies with serious themes. Continuing to stump for Adventure Time, this time in the name of the Stakes miniseries. So, a kid show with serious themes. And that... that is a theme.
Tyler: Tyler won't shut up Chi-Raq. Also, he recommends the GOAT Elisabeth Moss in Queen of Earth, as well as Oscar-nominated animated short The World of Tomorrow.
