The much anticipated most-recent entry in Wes Anderson's catalogue has FINALLY COME. After more than a year of ambiguously waiting for the release of this film (because of a little thing called COVID), Rhys and Kane have finally been able to watch and review the French Dispatch, surrounding its Australian release. Was it worth the hype? The boys discuss this, as well as review where it would fit in their own personal Wes Anderson film ranking.

Prior apologies for the late upload: but like everything, we're going to blame COVID on this one.
