Rediscovered: Screen Chat with Wayne and Shane

Wayne and Shane discuss movies that may have never made it to the multiplex screens or spent much, if any, time at any theater. There are many fine quality, low budget, independent, and international movies that deserve to be seen. We take two such films biweekly that we feel should be rediscovered.
