Olympic Artichoke Radio Episode Fourteen

Episode Fourteen iiiiissss in the building. On this episode we discuss two very different pictures, Gozu and My Boyfriend's Back. There's also a Top Ten List of the Week buried in there somewhere. It's got a western theme. Like a Junior Western Bacon Che. Sort of.  Anywho. Dig in. It's a pretty short episode, so it's got that going for it. And you might learn a little something about yourself along the way. For instance; you don't really like mayonnaise as much as you once did. Huh.

Gozu (2003) - d. Takashi Miike - Starring: Yuta Sone, Sho Aikawa

My Boyfriend's Back - d. Bob Balaban - Starring: Andrew Lowery, Traci Lind
