Movies are not &#34;rated&#34; here. They are explored.Eric and Curtis feed a never yielding fandom of movies and film, attempting to push beyond subjective, gut reactions of &#34;good&#34; or &#34;bad&#34; while breaking down WHY we feel the way we feel about what we choose to consume.And now there is the TFNR GAUNTLET, where hosts and guests must attempt to answer absurdly subjective questions with complete objectivity, or earn points and loose, &#34;The Game.&#34; Join us! And try to get on the board and get out with the smallest point total to WIN!

This Film Not Rated is BACK for SEASON 2!For the first Monday in October we wanted to dive into the Halloween season but as always we talk about the movies we watched this week in general.However, NOT as always, we have retooled the structure of this to allow Curtis and Eric to encourage objective thought while appreciating subjective experiences.
