We are back, screamers! And we have three wildly different films to talk about. First up is the narrative-in-commericals film "Buffet Infinity," followed by a conversation about hideous men, "Hurlyburly." We wrap up with another entry into the early Alts with the frozen dystopian "Quintet." We also talk about the nascent fascism of Spider-man, and the surveillance nature of superhero movies.
