John and the Hole (2021) "I guess the Hole is a Metaphor

About this episode

Edgar and Courtnee explore the darkly comedic film John and the Hole, discussing its themes and humor.

Edgar and Courtnee dive into the weird, deadpan world of John and the Hole (2021), where a moody teen tosses his family in a pit like it's no big deal. They debate if John’s a future horror icon or just grounded forever, all while cracking jokes about DIY bunkers and emotionally distant parenting. It’s awkward, eerie, and oddly hilarious—just like the movie.
