„Baby, do you want to come home with me? I've got Buffalo '66 on DVD…“
After listening to Wet Dream by Wet Leg on repeat, I was gifted Buffalo ‘66 on DVD. The opening scene is already enticing. The viewer is confronted with Billy Brown, an overly anxious and detestable protagonist. He is released after five years in prison and desperately needs to take a piss but can't find a toilet.
