"You thought I was a cripple, but you didn't know that I'm a ninja"

This week we move into the back half of round 5 with Leigh Whannell's Upgrade. In a futuristic dystopia where cybernetics are handed out like candy on halloween one man gets the ultimate Upgrade, with some minor strings attached. And, in addition to all of the segments you know and love, we also answer the ultimate question; did Leigh finally figure out how to write a decent cop? Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

Who knew meat was so controversial?

This week we start off with a wholesome game of Smells Fishy which quickly devolved into a heated debate. Will we get ourselves back on track, or will our deep-seated passion for the dictionary, technicalities, and food cause us to revert to our primal nature resulting in blood shed, name calling, and hair pulling? You'll have to listen to find out, and its all available right now wherever you get your podcasts.

The Prescribed Films Podcast Network won't judge you based on which side of the "Great Meat Debate of 24" you side with. We just want to entertain you. www.thepfpn.com

Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin!

It's all about big brained sharks on this week's episode as we discuss the 1999 sci-fi horror Deep Blue Sea. That is, of course, if we can figure out how to keep everyone on track at the same time long enough to get through the segments. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.

The "Adios, Baby" coming to a Target near you.

If this episode makes you cringe then we did our job. This week we dive into what makes us cringe, and we intentionally spoil a movie to save you the cringe. Don't worry, if you still want to watch "The Coffee Table" we do warn you before the spoiling begins. Let the cringe begin now wherever you get your podcasts.

The Prescribed Films Podcast Network would never take pleasure in your discomfort...except for this one time. www.thepfpn.com

Now that we've caught up on our sleep, our backs have mostly recovered, and our nerves have settled.

We are pleased to announce that A Reflectionary Tale won Best Burlington Made Film at SNAFF! Though we made a mostly coherent thank you speech we, again, want to take this opportunity to thank the following.

Thank you to the entire Snake Alley Festival of Film crew & volunteers for your tireless work at putting on this amazing event. Thank you and congrats to all of the film makers; the blood, sweat, and tears you put in to your projects didn't go unnoticed and you were all fantastic. And last, but not least thank you to all of you who have listened to our episodes, commented on our pages, watched our shorts, or supported us in any way. We've probably said it before, but; we're always going to do what we do, however that fact that other people find what we do enjoyable makes it so much more fulfilling.

Stay tuned for a more detailed breakdown of how amazing SNAFF '24 was, because as usual we got some stuff in the works.
