Cinema Eclectica 166 – You Have the Right to Remain Embalmed?
This week Graham embarks on a rogue operation to spy on “Sicario 2: Soldado”, a mission that has been necessitated by defence cuts and CDC alerts (basically some of us were too ill or too broke to see it). After this clandestine outing Rob and Tim interrogate Graham to find […]
