IDSG bonus episodes are a regular extra just for Patreon backers of myself or Daniel. Here's a preview

0:06.8

of the new one. Cohen Brothers, you know the movie. Not 100% with you and your police work,

0:12.8

they're low, etc. Funny-looking guys, etc. Yeah, so this is a good film. Controversial.

0:19.8

I know. Right out of the box. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, I'm out here now with the daring minority takes,

0:27.8

but yeah, it's a good film. Did not win Best Picture. Do you remember what film it lost to in

0:32.8

the 1997 Oscars? Oh God, I dread to think. Go on. Remind me. The English patient. Oh God.

0:43.3

I saw the English patient in the cinema and I was with two or three other people. Yeah,

0:52.5

and I would have been with three other people. And they all came out raving about it. Oh,

1:28.8

This was kind of the era. I mean, this is a really like the peak era in which they just

1:32.7

designed these movies and a lab to win Oscars, right? You know? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if

1:39.0

English patient quite fits into that. I think it's worse than that to be honest. I think everybody

1:44.1

involved was very sincere, which is worse. Fair enough. But we're not here. We're not here to talk

1:52.2

about the English patient or the Oscars, really. We're here to talk about a superior film.

1:58.4

Yeah. I guess, I guess. I mean, have you watched any of the FX TV series at all?

2:04.2

I watched the first season. Yeah. With... Oh, God, what's his name? Martin. Thank you.

2:11.9

Martin Bilbo. Yeah. And Billy Bob Thornton, I think, isn't it, isn't he? First season.

2:20.5

I don't know. I have not seen it, so I was just curious if you heard what your thoughts were on
