We're back for a "post credits" episode! To keep it simple - it's a freeform talk about Joker, Parasite, and a few other things we've watched since the BTB Finale episode. We've been feeling the urge to talk movies and what better way than with our listeners! These episodes won't be released on any consistent basis but you can definitely expect some more content in the future. Thanks for listening!

How much character do you actually need in a movie? Why is linear action more interesting? On this episode we discuss vertical action films, which are films where characters are traveling up or down towards a goal. The two films are the totally underrated remake of Dredd and the Indonesian action thriller The Raid.

As always, we pitch a film at the end of the episode. This week it's action films with Linear Action.
