This podcast serves as a spark notes version for those who do not care to watch these movies. Through a highly developed proprietary system called "The Fartsy Test," Casey and Patrick determine on a 10 point scale just how unbearably impenetrable and boring a given arthouse film is. Tune in every week and gain the social currency of talking like a snobbish asshole. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did. Explicit Terrible Person Terrible Person Unfiltered conversations unfold between “Gary” and “Selena” as everyday observations slide into cultural commentary, media obsession, relationship dynamics, and moments that probably should have stayed private. Nothing is structured and very little is filtered.Topics drift from movies, celebrities, and internet culture into arguments, confessions, and reactions that feel slightly too honest. Some exchanges are funny, some are uncomfortable, and some cross into territory that is occasionally highly inappropriate. “Gary” and “Selena” revisit disagreements, contradict themselves, escalate minor annoyances, and follow curiosity wherever it goes, without smoothing anything over. If you like sharp observations, messy honesty, and the feeling of being a fly on the wall during conversations you were never meant to hear, this is exactly that. Explicit
