Hosts' most anticipated picks

Back from the New Year’s break, Adam and Josh go long on the majesty - and some of the shortcomings - of Josh Safdie’s MARTY SUPREME. Plus, Josh is positive on the new AVATAR, and Adam recommends Gus Van Sant’s DEAD MAN’S WIRE and Kaouther Ben Hania’s THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. 

This episode is presented by⁠ Regal Unlimited⁠⁠, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
