Rumble Fish
A real conflicting film today. Andrew absolutely loved it; while Daniel started the episode kind of liking it, but by the end clearly hated it. 45min (In hindsight, it was a good film but far to ‘Artistic’ for my liking – Daniel)

On today’s episode we look at the very well received Adam Sandler movie, Uncut Gems. A film depicting how addiction and some fairly poor decision making can lead to an awful situation. 43 mins NOTE: This episode is heavily edited due to several recording and technical issues. Sorry

On this week’s Two Friends Watch, Andrew picks one of his favourite films of 2014 – the tough, bleak anti-revenge thriller Blue Ruin, the product of a successful Kickstarter campaign that would seem to vindicate crowdfunding as a means of supporting the arts.
