Dollar Reviews 020: Keanu
We proudly present our delayed review for the kitten caper, Keanu, with a heavy dosage of off-topic conversation (including my angst for shitty, spoilerific news items). Also, Steve caught A Space Program (22:34), Surf II (24:19), Romeo + Juliet (27:36), and Alien 3 (45:00).

P.S. The image is from the We Bare Bears episode “Shush Ninjas” which totes gets us.
Two Cents 031: #OscarsSoWhite

Debt to Cinema 015: Strange Days
This film is all about the imagination: Imagine if Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron made a Y2K sci-fi action thriller.
Next imagine it has awesome virtual reality.
Also imagine it has a strong subtext about police brutality.
Finally, imagine what a podcast review would sound like about that film.
