About this episode

The episode compares the films 'Wendy and Lucy' and 'Skinamarink', exploring their themes and styles.

Wendy And Lucy (2008) vs Skinamarink (2023) The category for today's battle episode is "Streaming on Tubi". With wide range of selections we landed on two very different movies. However that doesn't mean we weren't able to find some commonalities. "Wendy and Lucy" is a touching yet bleak look at the sate of economic struggle in the U.S. , directed by Kelly Reichardt who brings her distinct simplistic style. "Skinamarink" on the other hand is a chilling lo-fi horror ASMR experimentation that lead to a very interesting conversation. Make sure you turn up the volume on this episode to hear every whisper and growl. Will either film score 8 or more star and land on the Greatest Films of the 21st Century List ? Remember to rate, review and follow the show.
