What started as a curious peek into a work colleague’s creative project has now turned into complete and utter fandom! My only wish is that it came out every day, like The Daily by the New York Times. Yes, I need the Fartsy Test like I need the news! I am now invested in every family member, every reality show, and every craft beer they discuss and I can’t help it! They are truly the only men making a film podcast that I can stand. Five stars!!

First time listener. Good show, good content. Funny banter, very good chemistry. More Audio clips from the film would have been amazing. I’ve seen this movie 3 times and it offers me something everytime. It’s horrifying and repulsive to see the demeaning and cruel things these adult men put these teens thru. I would have liked to hear a little more about the special features this release come with, especially the deleted scenes, the 3 extra endings, and there’s a great interview with Pasolini talking on set while in the background you see a setup.
