Ahh! Real Films

TV & Film


Welcome distinguished ladies, refined germs and people of all genders who are of a worldly disposition! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a topic of much pomp and esteem (I don't know why I think it's so fancy, but I'm the one writing the episode description so let me be) - the National Film Registry! Specifically, two of the twenty-five or so (out of 775) horror films in the prestigious registry. Join us as we discuss thrilling topics such as: the male gaze, the greatest monsters to grace the medium of film, what is and what it means to be on the National Film Registry, and our depression in recalling the infamous Dave&Busters Reddit story (see below...).
