1st episode! Canadian filmmaker and podcaster extraordinaire, Justin Decloux (Impossible Horror, Teddy Bomb), joins us for an epic chat about the 2008 feature film SPEED RACER, directed by The Wachowski Sisters.
We cover the sisters' history leading up to the production of the film, plus our respective personal histories with the movie and the legacy it left in its wake.
We then each pair a wine with the movie (or non-wine - Justin is living the sober life due to health concerns, poor thing) and explain our reasoning for each.

We especially recommend Justin's podcasts The Very Fine Comic Book Podcast, No Such Thing as a Bad Movie, and The Important Cinema Club.
