Hello, my name's Justin the Clue and I'm here today with Will Sloan.

And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club.

And today we're going to be talking about Jonathan Demi, a filmmaker who sadly recently passed away.

This is kind of an impromptu episode, but I always feel weird when you see

like articles or stuff like that when someone passes away. Like it's like you're cashing in on it.

Exactly, right? But when it did come out that he passed away, I use it more as an opportunity of,
