Certified cinephile cuties Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon are here to guide plebs and idiots alike through the world of arthouse cinema. This podcast serves as a spark notes version for those who do not care to watch these movies. Through a highly developed proprietary system called "The Fartsy Test," Casey and Patrick determine on a 10 point scale just how unbearably impenetrable and boring a given arthouse film is. Tune in every week and gain the social currency of talking like a snobbish asshole. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did.
