Returning The Andy Plex alumnus Ryan Grassmeyer is back to discuss "Home for the Holidays" (1995). Why does this film endure at 30? Why is it a Thanksgiving and holiday masterpiece? It marks Jodie Foster's sophomore directorial outing. After winning 2 acting oscars and now entering her 30s, Jodie looks to take on the rediscovering of ourselves into adulthood through the lens of returning home to our families at 30. Holy Hunter loses her job in Chicago and returns home to Baltimore for Thanksgiving. Her journey is personal yet one we all go through. At 100 mins, this film is lean and jam packed with family drama, dysfunction, laughs, and tear jerks. Thanksgiving doesn't have enough films about it, and this one may just take the cake...ah...Turkey.

Joining Andy to discuss the 2008 Japanese splatter horror/comedy “Tokyo Gore Police” is Amy Drolet! Amy is a podcaster (“Everything is Scary), writer, and horror aficionado.
Director Yoshihiro Nishimura comes from a special effects background and IT SHOWS here. “Tokyo Gore Police” is a blood drenched body horror spectacle but is also a deep allegory/satire on the dangers of unchecked privatized power - especially if extended to public services like the police!
