This week the guys gripe about the MBTA and the weird white cones that have popped up in Evan\\u2019s neighborhood \\u2013 but not for long \\u2013 because Dave is back in \\u201cthe studio\\u201d and they have a ton of movies to talk about! First, Kris sneaks in a quick review of Tim Burton\\u2019s DUMBO (4:15) a movie that tries to tell you what\\u2019s fun and fails. Next, Dave and Evan cover JUANITA (7:20) the Netflix film that\\u2019s perfectly predictable and nice, although pretty mediocre. After that Dave reviews THE HUMMINGBIRD PROJECT (15:55), which he describes as two-thirds of a good movie with Jesse Eisenberg and Alexander Skarsgard. Finally, they arrive at the main event: this year\\u2019s coverage of the Boston Underground Film Festival aka BUFF (25:40). Kris and Evan share their thoughts on a plethora of entertaining films including the delightful documentary HAIL SATAN?, the Boomers vs Millennials horror flick TONE-DEAF, the coming-of-age war-musical KANARIE, the queer Giallo slasher KNIFE + HEART, the creepy ghost tale THE NIGHTSHIFTER, and the sex-positive 90s indie MARY JANE\\u2019S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE. They even talk about a few shorts in between like I OWE YOU ONE BANANA AND TWO BLACK EYES by friend of the show Jim McDonough!
