Kennedy in the summer of 1968, the film mostly failed at the box office. Come see why it's worth a watch now more than ever in this Marsonet pick on The Clueless Critic.

About The Clueless Critic
A Brit and an Aussie with extensive film knowledge make me, a clueless Yankee, watch some obscure random film. How bizarre are these films? Well, they have to be films I've never seen. And I've seen some odd ducklings like Killer Clowns from Outer Space and The Forbidden Zone. So these films would simply not be weird enough for me. What nuggets and what dregs will we dig up? Terror in Tiny Town? The Room? Nah. Too mainstream. Let's dig deeper. It's like a book club for lazy people. But these are movies that nobody watches, except us - and now maybe you. Be weird. Listen.
