Buried (2010) stars Ryan Reynolds, buried in a box! We are making a shift from big blockbuster movies to one of the smallest and confined movies. Jason says this is one of only TWO good Ryan Reynolds performances. We are both fans of this chamber piece film!

We talk about how it is a commentary on war in the Middle East, a criticism of bureaucracy, how we need to serve everyone around us, even more critical criticism of bureaucracy, and how social media makes us all feel like we are trapped in a box.

Jason also proposes a new film genre, "horrifying." A way to describe films that are not quite horror, but fill you with dread the whole time.
