In the season 1 finale of Film Slob, Caesar reunites with The Criterion Cult Podcast and a female guest (Ashley Aguirre) to bring some balance to this hetero-spective--a term coined by our last guest, Alex Salcido. We all commiserate over the uneven quality of these two films and reflect on why they are (or aren't) worth talking about over 20 years later. See you all next time!
