  5. Him, Highest 2 Lowest, and Mash

    10/18/2025

    Him, Highest 2 Lowest, and Mash

    On today's episode: three films that ask the question: yes, but at what cost? Albeit in very different ways. We're talking "Him," Spike Lee's Kurosawa re-imagining, "Highest 2 Lowest," and our first trip to the early Alts with Robert Altman's "Mash." At least one of these films was fun to watch.
