Starring actress/model Aurora Ribero as “13”, a 17-year-old assassin who gets suspended after a botched mission and befriends 11-year-old Monji. But when Monji gets kidnapped 13 gets some very, very, very blood revenge on his kidnappers while getting on the wrong side of her assassin group. UH OH! We also chat about Indonesian action as a whole because WHY NOT? Check it out!
We’ve waited a long time to get into it, but on this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we’re finally checking out Quentin Tarantino’s breakthrough 1992 crime thriller RESERVOIR DOGS, starring Harvey Keitel, Michael, Madsen, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, and – of course – Steve Buscemi as Mr. Pink. We discuss its triumphs and controversies, as well as how our feelings on the film – and Tarantino – have changed over the past thirty years. We also discuss Pete Davidson’s new sitcom Bupkis, the live action Little Mermaid and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
We’re getting heist-y on a brand new episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT with Michael Cimino’s terrific buddy crime comedy THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT from 1974!
