This week on Off the List, join host Hannah Koch (HKoch) and special guest co-host Tucker Butler (@tunkasaurus) as they chuckle (and cry) their way through Darius Marder's Sound of Metal. A major awards season contender, if you care about those kinds of things, don't miss out on Riz Ahmed's character Rubin as he grows through hearing, belonging, and... metal.
