In our inaugural episode, we cover Kathryn Bigelow's 1995 box office bomb, Strange Days. Is it an underrated classic or just one of Jim Cameron's politically charged fever dreams? You're gonna have to listen to find out.

CONTENT WARNING: This film is a hard R-movie. Aside from your fair amount of nudity and profanity, there are explicit scenes of sexual and police violence. If that sort of thing isn't your bag, you might want to pass.

And before the nitpickers of the Internet get to us, here's a few show notes to correct what we said on air:

Leonetti was the cinematographerPhil(o) is the name of Michael Wincott's character, not the DJRodney King and the LA Riots occurred in 1992, not 93"In the Line of Fire" was the film starring Clint Eastwood and John MalkovichRichard Edson plays "Tick", the "Ferris Bueller thief".
