This week it's a deep dive into two visually stunning films. First up, Jake is mystified and mesmerized by one of Sydney's all time favorites, Peter Weir's enigmatic 1975 film, "Picnic at Hanging Rock."

Next up, is the trippy and brutal 1967 classic, "Point Blank," starring Lee Marvin. Based on the novel "The Hunter," by Richard stark, this is the first film version of the story. It was later remade as "Payback," (1999) starring Mel Gibson. (Check out the previous episode Payback vs. Payback for a discussion of that film)
