Next up in our Forbidden Worlds Film Festival 2025 reviews is a obscure French film from Jean-PIERRE Jeunet & MARC CARO! The City Of Lost Children (1995) a bizarre cyber/steampunk world with Ron Perlman, clones and scary Santas! This must have been an inspiration on Guillermo del Toro. Definitely not one for Mike's wife Megan due to it's hardcore weirdness! Listen as we attempt to explain this film's unusual dream-like logic... #PrepareForPrattle

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
