The Other Half

Reflections in a Golden Eye is drama on a military base. Everyone in this movie is a bad person so you just feel bad for Colonel's wife. Sorry no James bond in this movie. Only a super mumbly Marlon …

M is one of the first police procedurals ever made as it follows a child serial killer's effect on an entire city. It somehow gets grimmer. Made in 1931 in Germany, this movie was considered too prog…

We're starting off The Other Half's Summer Classic Movies with A Street Car Named Desire! A movie that's been on our list almost since we started this podcast, we're finally getting around to watchin…
