2 Cosy Reviews + 1 Rant With Zero Chill: FoF From Under A Blanket
Description
This week on FoF I’m under two blankets, spiralling into a myriad of rants, and reviewing two brand new films: the tense, lo-fi "Bugonia" (no spoilers) and the sweaty, twitchy "Ballad of a Small Player" (spoilers!).
Elsewhere: I talk Celebrity Traitors, why I pulled down a reel, and how Stranger Things has somehow invented cinema! WOW! I also make a public plea for an "Aftermath" poster at Stratford station.
