  Worth it just to have Bill Lee pitching and talking shit on film forever.

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Hadn’t seen this since it was in theaters, where I remembered liking it. But man, I didn’t remember liking it this much. So much fun!

The climax is where it really starts to be in conflict, where the lighting is so murky that it gets hard to tell what’s going on.
