Finally, it’s the Ozu episode. The boys hit the Tatami mat and tackle his 1953 masterpiece: Tokyo Story. Is it the right film to watch on week 40 of your pregnancy? Then, the direct opposite: The first two episodes of the new series of The OA. It’s a detailed discussion about the full 140 mind-bending (or mind-numbing, depending on who you ask) minutes of them. Plus, surprisingly detailed birth stories from the perspective of two men. A little bit different this time.
