The TFS Staff
Talk Film Society Podcast

Host Marcelo (@MarceloJPico) continues his look back at the films of 2020 by looking at Alone and The King of Staten Island with two great guests. First, Mike (@hibachijustice) talks John Hyams’ Alone, the indie horror thriller that may have flown under your radar. Then, MJ (@MJSmith891) talks Judd Apatow’s The King of Staten Island, starring the one reason you may have passed on it: Pete Davidson. Two great guests, two great movies, one great episode!
