Critique-Opolis
Jay & Louisa deliver a fiery, opinion fueled overview of movies, social movements, cultural behaviors and eating habits - dovetailed with a honey-based recipe and reviews of the most obnoxious movie/media news headlines we can get our eyeballs in front of. For our latest editions, we will be reviewing scripts from the infamous Hollywood 'Black List' (scripts with a ton of 'buzz' that have yet to secure a deal or go into production) - and adding our own casting and story development suggestions.

The Race That Eats Its Young
Strength is measured in a number of different ways. Some think it's a question of how much you think you can lift. Others think it's a question of how many times you can get up after being beaten. We tripped across a documentary about a quirky, lazy eyed, bearded, smoking runner who developed the most brutal endurance race known to man, known as the Barkley Marathon.
Funded by a kickstarter campaign by Annika Iltis and Timothy James Kane, we take a look at the 2012 annual cross country foot race inspired by a prison break by James Earl Ray (assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). Get ready, because this race is packed with arduous athletic torture from start to finish. Terrain and length pulverize the bodies of everyone who is invited to run it. We can't underscore it enough, this race is a meat grinder for human beings. Over 90% of those who start the race can't finish it. Years go by without anyone being able to compete it. Will this year be the same or will a champion emerge?
Spoiler alert: We ran out of disk space on the recorder so the show stops abruptly. Sorry. Actually, don't cry big tears.
