  • One of the best pods around

    The highlight of my week is when Len and Vincent release a new episode. I listen to a multitude of podcasts but this is the only one where I listen to EVERY episode that’s released. Their perspective is so fresh, nuanced, and fun, you’re unlikely to find it elsewhere.

Enemy Mine (1985)

The film's shift in dynamics creates a bizarre twist that holds the audience's attention but detracts from its overall narrative impact once Gossett Jr. is no longer present.
