Afterthoughts

John continues to force us to revisit the movies he loved as a teenager that may or may not have aged well since then. This week we're talking about the horny British coming-of-age dramedy Cashback (2006).

This is a Recommend or Refute with plenty of tangents.

Join the usual Afterthoughts crew as they share another sampling of drastically different films. Dixon takes us for a hike into The Eight Mountains (2022), giving just enough of a glimpse into why its one of his recent favorite films. Ryan tells us about his recent attempt to dumpster dive in the Netflix backlog and the resulting discovery of Maburoshi (2023). And John harkens back

Dixon tells us why size does matter with his review of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), John shakes hands with horror trope refreshed for a new generation as he talks to us about Talk to Me (2022), and Ryan regrets letting his family
