A show about the movies of yesterday and how they hold up today. Every two weeks, Jimmy is joined by a special guest to waltz on back to yesteryear to talk about a movie or two from ten years ago.
S2E20 - Episode #28 - Arrival x Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Welcome back to Sightgeist! In this episode, Jimmy and Joe discuss two very different takes on sci-fi in 2016: Denis Villeneuve's Arrival and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Also, Forest Whitaker is in both of them, so there's that, too. Jimmy introduces a new game to celebrate/shame Joe over his Letterboxd reviews. Stick around until the very end to hear what happens when Jimmy's internet goes down and Joe is left to his own devices for a few minutes.
