[19:25] 3 Films That Have Impacted Everything In Your Adult Life

There Will Be Blood impact

[20:00] Tony Castrati describes how he was 14 when he saw this movie. He remembers as a kid how he loved movies. He never thought movies could be bad. The nature of it being a movie meant it was awesome.

Irreversible analysis

[25:20] Tony Castrati shares how he watched Irreversible when he was 16 years old. How the vengeful act at the start seems so mindlessly violent and you’re not on the protagonists side, but as the film goes back through time you find out why in the world of the film, he would kill someone.

The Lighthouse Influence

[31:00] Tony Castrati talks about how watching The Lighthouse with his wife. It’s one of their favourites. Which is funny as it’s about two people living with each other and going insane - which is not indicative of his marriage.
