This unexpected Oscar winner really holds up! We debate if there is a victim or a villain or if the main characters of this film all deserved what they got.

1:21:25

Did Paul Verhoeven have a time machine or is he a wizard? We watched Total Recall, another of his sci fi action films that has remained shockingly relevant well over 30 year past it's release.

Does The Menu and Triangle of Sadness, two "eat the rich" movies that came out last year, stand out in the long history of eat-the-rich movies?
