Money Pain

July 30, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

We're deep into Summer blockbuster season, so let's kick back with the boys and let the power of new release cinema wash over us.

Almost anything, really. THIS WEEK: Money Plane (2020), Force of Nature (2020), and The Rental (2020). Rate and Review Optimism Vaccine on iTunes: https://bit.ly/Optim...

July 23, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 117 MB

Part 2 of our Shinya Tsukamoto spectacular takes a look at the director's mid-career work as he inches away from cyberpunk and into the world of psycho-sexual nightmares and creepy doppelgangers. Don't worry though, there's still a giant metal dong.

July 09, 2020 22:30 - 1 hour - 84.4 MB

Shinya Tsukamoto's cynical cyberpunk aesthetic might seem like a nightmare to some, but given the current state of the world, maybe it isn't all that bad.
