Operation Kino 136: Ridley Scott’s Auteurist Cred, Plus Our Favorite Sex Scenes
Episodes»Volume 1 | | 19. November, 2013

 

 

 

This week Katey has temporarily defected to England, so the boys are left to discuss Ridley Scott, and his credentials as an auteur director, in honor of this week's The Counselor and inspired by Facebook user Jake Bart. We also talk about the process of reporting rumors and casting news online, the benefits of revisiting works of art, and spooooooooky recommendations for the Halloween holiday season. All that plus our picks of favorite sex scenes for the Lightning Round. Don't worry, it won't be as intense as soft porn or someone using a metal plug collection tail collection. Just a little poking on your sexual fantasies.
