Episode 156: Universal Language & Rebel Ridge

Greetings, Programs! This week on the show, we're looking at Canada's official selection for the Academy Award for Best International Feature, Matthew Rankin's Universal Language. It's a singular piece of art that we have a lot to say about, and it premieres in Canada at TIFF this week: https://tiff.net/events/universal-language Following that, we look at Jeremy Saulnier's new Netflix-produced action thriller Rebel Ridge, featuring star-in-the-making Aaron Pierre.  Join us BONUS CONTENT:      This week's bonus episode is all James Bond all the time, inspired by Simon's recent revisiting of Pierce Brosnan's four turns in the role.  We have opinions, and it was a fun discussion.
