Incredibly Strange Video
Film lovers Ryan and Cassie take a critical look at films that are often only laughed at, lovingly dissecting b-movies, cult cinema, and "so bad it's good" flicks to gain a new appreciation for unusual cinema.

Ep. 5: Crackerjack 2
We return to the Crackerverse for the mystifying sequel that changes up all of the actors and all of the lore from the first film. Why? Ryan posits that it's all the work of an uncredited editor who sought to create films that are expressions of Jack Wild's tortured subconscious. Meanwhile, Cassie finds joy in Kateřina Brožová's crazy terrorist outfit and the fact that Jack uses a floppy disk camera during his investigations. Together they parse out the details of potentially creating an imaginary bank on a satellite to launder money. And in the Thoughts From Letterboxd segment, we gush over a review that claims Judge Reinhold creates a "Jack for all" as he fills the shoes of Thomas Ian Griffith.
How does it all stack up against the original? Take a listen and find out!
