The Lobster (2015): Sick Days, Chainsaws, and Crustacean Courtships

Zea’s out sick this week, so the NAFC boys hold down the fort with all the usual chaos. Mox checks out the Chainsaw Man movie and gives his take on whether it lives up to the anime's bloody legacy.

Meanwhile, Izzy’s had enough of Alien Earth—he’s officially turning on the direction, and he’s got receipts.

The crew then dives into The Lobster (2015), a bleak, absurdist look at love, loneliness, and turning into sea creatures if you stay single too long. It’s weird, it’s dark, and it’s exactly the kind of movie NAFC was made for.
