On today's ep, The Film Bros fly through the bamboo into the lush sets, epic love stories, masterful acting, and mind-blowing ass-kicking of Ang Lee's 2000 classic, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
But not before reading a listener email, derailing the convo into the world of self-insert fanfictions, and explaining to Steph what "smut" means...

won·der - a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.
Steph discuses how every prolific director creates a sense of "wonder" in the viewer. You can define any of their styles with this little formula: adjective + "wonder".
For Spielberg, it's Childlike Wonder. For Tarantino, it's Violent Wonder. Duh!

It's time for our first ever Obscure Movie of the Month bonus ep, and boy is this one a doozy! Ever wonder if you're not who you think you are? That you might have actually been kidnapped from a shoe store by a cult member and then raised by her rich-ass parents as a whole other person? Then you would get along great with Janey, the red-headed, Souvlaki-hating heroine of today's movie, THE FACE ON THE MILK CARTON!
