An entertaining and informative dive into the world of film. Everybody thinks they are an expert when it comes to movies, and this passionate discussion hits a nerve, dissecting not just films but how they affect us. Host Lionel and his callers rail against lazy clichés, such as slow motion, unrealistic gun sounds, and the use of stereotypical figure-eight binoculars. The conversation questions the difference between "justice" and "revenge," noting that justice is often just "getting back at somebody".Callers explore cinema's emotional impact, revisiting traumatizing childhood experiences from movies like Bambi and Old Yeller, and debating powerful classics such as On the Beach, Patton, and Easy Rider. They lament the decline of modern cinema, questioning why new thoughts and great screenwriters seem to have vanished. Tune in for an uncompromising look at the lost American experience of the cinema.
