    It just didn't fascinate us the way a movie should. Every time we do one of these, we'll be leaving something out. Sorry.

    Rip, you seemed a little lackluster at the idea of doing an Anime show, so I won't ask about that again, but I was wondering if you plan on doing a drug movies episode. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Scanner Darkly (based on the book by Philip K Dick), Trainspotting, etc.

    And not so much movies where drug use used in the movie alone, but where the audience themselves are unsure of what is "real" and false in the context of the movie. So, not movies like Blow or Scarface. More like psychedelic art films.

    If that's not your thing, maybe Rusty or Bre would be interested in doing that episode. I don't mean to be presumptuous, but they seem down.

    I think you mean that they seem like druggies.

    That's not what I meant.

    Jacob's Ladder is definitely a movie I'd add in too. Tim Robbins is great.

    No worries, can’t wait to hear your take on spy movies, see if the Bourne Identity makes it. I couldn’t stand it, because the books were dear to me from a young age, and they basically butchered the story.

    Any thoughts on "A Bridge Too Far"?

    It seems to tick all the boxes, plus had a hell of a cast. What kept it from making the grade?
