Dementia 13 (1963)
Loyal listener Manuel requested this week’s topic – another Roger Corman classic that also happens to be Francis Ford Coppola’s first “legitimate” feature film. Filmed in 9 days for about $40,000, this film is not without its flaws, but really, what more can you expect?
The Babysitter (2017)
First, head over to Netflix to watch this right away. Then, drop back here to listen to our thoughts and see if you take our side over this somewhat divisive film directed by McG.
