The Hi-Lo Bro Show

Author: Richard Ryan and Garrett Chaffin-Quiray

Richard and Garrett talk up film culture: the Good, the Bad, and the Wonderfully Awful. We take on a piece of midnight trash/cult pop filmmaking, and pair it with a daunting, difficult piece of High Art cinema. Spoilers everywhere: these conversations are meant for listeners who have seen the films under discussion. We also delve into significant works of film criticism and history, as well as the source material for some of the greatest movies ever made. And some of the worst.
