This episode is crazy! We are back for Season 3 and kicking it off with a bang! Sailor Monsoon joins Raf to talk about one of the three movies to ever sweep the “big five” at the Oscars. It’s also arguably the movie that made Jack Nicholson the megastar that he is today. Sailor explains why One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is such an important movie in his life. He also previews his most anticipated movies of 2024.
