They tried to cancel us, and, let's be honest, we tried to cancel ourselves, but despite everyone's best (and worst) efforts, we've somehow made it to the half-century milestone.
In Episode 50, Josh takes us back to Sweden for a film that is somehow even weirder than his previous pick, Border. Things are about to get very deadpan, very absurd, and very satirical, as we talk all things You, the Living, by acclaimed director Roy Andersson.
