French Canadian director, Denis Villeneuve, is today considered one of the most epic, visionary filmmakers of our age. But 23 years ago, no one had yet heard of this young filmmaker from Quebec. Despite failing to earn a Best Foreign Language nomination from the Academy Awards, August 32nd still received modest critical success. Releasing his first film the same year that Christopher Nolan released his first film, many today see the two directors as the best in business. We've reviewed all of Nolan's films (so far), now before we review Denis's latest film Dune, releasing this October, we go back to the beginning to ask is Denis's first film a forgotten gem or an amateurish first attempt? Join Corbin and Allen as they review August 32nd on Earth to find out!

Question after the show: If you had a near death experience would you live life to its fullest or just be more precautious?
