Sisu
The Black Dog Podcast
This week Jim is away, either being helped by the NHS or having cosmetics tested on him, who can say (but rose blush does suit him). So Darren attends a play, Lee gets haunted by an alexa live on the cast and Elton comes up with some novel casting choice for a remake of Casino Royal. Then after some rather random questions and feedback for last weeks film, Enemy, we move on to this weeks film which proves beyond doubt that punching Nazis will never not be entertaining as we review the movie Sisu.

After a fortnight away we return with Jim and Darren getting in an Electric State, Lee watching Black Bag and Elton needing to have tummy sticks. Then after some feedback for Housebound we move on to this weeks film. A movie that is probably the most prophetic film committed to celluloid.

Then finally its on to this weeks film, a pretentious pile of arse that needs you to do the work for the writers? Or a deep challenging psychological surreal study into the nature of a broken mans desire for freedom? Or an arachnophobes nightmare?
