Episode 079: The Fisher King (1991)

Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast

In this episode, rising from the ruins of 2023, we kick off the new year with a listener episode to start things right. So join us as we stick around in the 90's just a little longer to take our first stab discussing both Terry Gilliam and Robin Williams on the show. This time we're checking out The Fisher King from 1991. But before all that, we've got a wide range of recent watches to discuss as Dustin shares some of his movie viewing while laid up with the flu. And so much more!

Special thanks to Daniel for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film? We want to check out the movies you suggest to us. Write in at [e-mail] or contact us on your favorite form of social media and shoot us a movie recommendation.
