2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.
To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.
This week, our dear friend Adam from The Secret History of Hollywood, Attaboy Clarence and The Labours of Hercule podcasts joins Scott, Paul and Charlie to discuss a movie that we vowed we would never watch again!
An episode filled with fun and laughter (bizarre when you consider the subject matter) as well as technical hitches and cock ups.
Irreversible (2002)
Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass. Her boyfriend and ex-lover take matters into their own hands by hiring two criminals to help them find the rapist so that they can exact revenge. A simultaneously beautiful and terrible examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect, and how time destroys everything.
" Take the underpass. It's safer.”
