The Postman

Ep. 319

This week we watch Kevin Costner's big budget post-apocalyptic flop Waterw- no, the other one, The Postman. Join us as we slog through three hours of people not sending the post, and then people really REALLY sending the post. It's a film we've watched so you don't have to, cos we're nice like that.


Next week, it's Things to Come!
