Does the world really need another film podcast? Recovering filmmakers Ken Mercer and F.T. Kosempa are apparently crazy enough to think so. Ken (a Left Coast Hollywood survivor) and Frank (an independent filmmaker from New York) share their bicoastal, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious takes on the films that are truly worth talking about.

What happens when David Cronenberg trades body horror for psychological horror? In this episode, we break down A History of Violence—a tense, haunting look at identity, brutality, and the masks people wear to survive.
We explore how Viggo Mortensen’s haunting performance captures dual identity, buried pasts, and the thin line between peace and brutality. From its shocking opening to its chilling final scene, this film asks: can we ever escape who we really are?
A deep dive into violence, morality, and transformation from one of cinema’s boldest directors.
