S2E18 - Episode #26 - The Nice Guys

Welcome back to Sightgeist! In this episode, Jimmy and Joe discuss David Mackenzie's (but really Taylor Sheridan's) Hell or High Water and Nicolas Winding Refn's (though Jimmy mistakenly calls him "David Winding Refn at one point) The Neon Demon. They thought one was fine, and one wasn't so good. Listen on to find out which was which, and to hear the results of the penultimate instalment of Man of Letters-Boxd, Jimmy's game which he uses to shame Joe and his Letterboxd reviews.

Welcome back to Sightgeist! In this episode, Jimmy and Joe discuss two very different takes on sci-fi in 2016: Denis Villeneuve's Arrival and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Also, Forest Whitaker is in both of them, so there's that, too. Jimmy introduces a new game to celebrate/shame Joe over his Letterboxd reviews. Stick around until the very end to hear what happens when Jimmy's internet goes down and Joe is left to his own devices for a few minutes.
