Part Three: The Tom Coward Memorial Edition

You’re just expected to know everything, aren’t you? You’re expected to have already seen every movie. To know every piece of background info on all your favorite films.

It’s a technique used to stymie film lovers and film writers and to convince them they aren’t good enough, aren’t worthy of being in The Club.
