SHOWNOTES: We did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit! We did not hit her, we did naaawwwt. Oh hai listeners! Yes, you read that right; this is our 100th numbered episode of the podcast, and we are celebrating that along with the conclusion of Season Eight with a very special redux on a long-time favorite: Tommy Wiseau's The Room! On this momentous occasion, Derik from Ratchet Book Club and A Seat at the Spades Table joins Beau and Ashley as a first-time watcher of the 2003 independent film often called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies". It would be a massive understatement to call Wiseau's magnum opus The Room important to Collateral Cinema; it's practically the reason we started podcasting together in the first place! We took the opportunity to hear Derik's fresh take moments after the experience and share our thoughts on why this film is not only so important to us, but to cinema and pop culture as a whole. Thank you to all of our listeners, guests, collaborators, and fellow podcasters for helping us make it this far, and here's to Season Nine and the next 100 episodes! You are tearing us apart!
