Samm Deighan and Spencer Parsons join Mike to look at the 1976 Hungarian film from Zoltan Fabri, The Fifth Seal. Set in WWII, the film is a deceptively simple story of five men who meet and drink in an urban watering hole. One of them proposes a bit of a thought experiment which colors the world of his companions and eventually manifests in real life thanks to the fascists, the Arrow Cross Party, running the place.
