Description

This week Chris and Zach talk about an anti-establishment classic, pitting Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher against each other for control of a mental hospital. Prompted by the release of Ryan Murphy's new Netflix show Ratched, we do an analysis of the film's style and characters, as well discuss our own personal experiences with the film.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is currently available on Netflix.

Next week we're covering Corpus Christi, one of the few remaining 2019 Best International Feature Oscar nominees that we haven't talked about. It is currently available on Criterion Channel or rentable on Amazon.

Featuring: Zach Chilcote and Chris Ding
