GENERAL THOUGHTS
It’s rare that we ever come across a film where we don’t know where to start our discussions. Mandy is a terrific example of such a rare occurrence. Anytime we do film based episodes, we always start with general thoughts. For this film, our “preview” section got a bit more detailed than it intended. But hey, that’s okay! We’ll have Jon’s thoughts on the film soon. To read our full review though, you can click here.
SYMBOLISM & CINEMATOGRAPHY
Mandy is a film full of content and hidden meaning to explore. With the choices of lightning, opening quotes, conversations between characters and more. Writer/director Panos Cosmatos crafts a unique film that acts like a love letter to the action films of the 1980s but in turn is a film with immaculate depth. Can we fit it all into one episode?

THANKSGIVING
It’s November! We here at Victims and Villains believe the state of thanksgiving, not just the holiday but the actual of giving thanks. We believe giving thanks has the power to start the cycle to break depression and allow joy to enter where depression once stood. We wanna hear what you are thankful for this year? Please let us know in the comments below.
