Arthouse movies vs Mainstream movies. It’s a high stakes showdown every week on Weekend at Bergman’s as Forever Dog co-founders and movie lovers Brett Boham and Joe Cilio watch an arthouse movie and mainstream movie that share a theme and have to decide which one they liked better. And they have to be honest. The Seventh Seal vs Weekend at Bernie’s! The Red Shoes vs Showgirls! Gummo vs Home Alone! The winning movies enter the canon and the losing movies enter the trash canon and Brett and Joe can never watch them again for the rest of their lives. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.
