Let the Movie Speak!
"Elevator to the Gallows" (1958)
Season 5, Episode 10
After discussing their week of watching, including Spencer (2021), & Frankenstein (1931), the boys hop on a plane to the seedy, black and white streets of Paris, France to delve into the world of Julian and Florence. They touch on what French New-Wave contributed to film, and how this particular entry leaves much to be desired if you care about things happening that matter in your movies. All of it culminates in an answer to their favorite question: "Is It Worth Your Time?"
