TENET - (Spoiler Free)

For our 3rd "Super Anti-hero" film, friend of the show, cartoonist Alex Schumacher joins us to chat about the 1994 Jim Carrey Blockbuster. Where did we stand on it then, how has it aged, and how have we aged, considering this movie is 30 years old?! WE chat about the then cutting edge CGI, the extreme 90s-ness, and ask a few vital questions about the storytelling.

*Apologies, due to an ongoing & mysterious computer issue, the sound on this episode is a little rough.
