    Film to Table (Side Cast) Episode 21: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

    Film to Table is back for Season 3, and we kick off with a hidden gem of 2026, Gore Verbinski's sci-fi film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. Set in a fictional (how fictional is sadly very questionable) time period, sets off Denise and Eli to go off on their thoughts on what this movie is wanting to say. With a bearded Sam Rockwell and a rag tag team on a mission to save the world this sci-fi film is something we highly recommend for all cinephiles.  This podcast has some spoilers, but we have a callout before then, so listener discretion is advised  Top Shelf Video – Reliving the Video Store Era with Gen X Please rate and review us!
