Make Me Watch (E. Elliott II & Shawn McGee)

McGee makes E hit the black market Criterion van in search of the missing Kurosawa in his life. They get a little sweaty talking about the state of policing, find multiple reasons to bring up Batman, and take a straight path direct to a classic noir that you might have missed.
