Welcome back to our first episode in almost 5 months! Are these Nolan films the best trilogy ever? Is The Dark Knight the greatest Batman film we'll ever see? Does the grounded reality of this world allow for a better Batman storyline? We discuss literally none of this and so much more in our longest episode ever, in true Film Therapy style!
Is this movie just a racially-charged political statement? Or does it have more to say about the core of our identities? Or does any of that really matter in the face of an enjoyable film? We discuss this and more in our review of BlacKkKlansman.
Is this film another surprise Netflix hit? Is it a career-defining role for Mr Hemsworth or just another one under the belt? Does it extract its full potential or leave us demanding more? We discuss this and more in our review of Extraction.
Could this series become the most well-loved action series ever? Is there anything not to like about Mr Reeves - aka John Wick himself? Does the series take itself too seriously or is it just one big game? We discuss this and more in our review of The John Wick Trilogy.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this newest session of Film Therapy.

Welcome to our first ever Film Therapy episode. In these segments, we sit back, relax and reminisce on films in our past that meant something to us personally. In this episode, we talk about the first film we saw together: The Prestige! We discuss its impact on not only the beginning of our friendship but also the development of our passion for filmmaking and storytelling, and how it has been a key starting point to everything we've strived for in our creative endeavours. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation in this episode of Film Therapy.
Is Joker just another Leto-esque entry waiting to be outshone by Ledger's Oscar-winning performance of one of the greatest villians ever created?

We discuss this and so much more in our One, Two, Review of Joker.
