Escapist Delights in a Crumbling Democracy w/ Jim Mercurio

Hello everyone!This was a fun talk with Jim Mercurio in which he shared his thoughts on the best films of the 21st century. I liked his list, it was very honest and included quite a few films I’d heard of but haven’t seen. There’s a difference between a list that’s designed to sound “elitist” and a list that is genuine. Jim’s list was genuine and I appreciated that.We had another one of our tangential talks that bounced all over the place. I’ve given up on trying to keep track of the movies we cover, but I like how these talks develop. Ben’s doing a great job finding and scheduling wonderful guests!I’m glad you all tuned in!
