Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guest Grace Duffy, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.
So this week, Barbara Bialowas and Tomasz Mandes’ 365 Dni.
A young sales director named Laura finds herself abducted by a Sicilian mafia don named Massimo. Massimo has decided that he loves Laura, and vows to make her love him as well. There is just one catch: if Massimo cannot make Laura fall in love with him within the next 365 days, he will set her free.
At time of recording, it was ranked 42nd on the list of the worst movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
Show Notes:
- Recorded 10th February 2021.

- Note: Because we recorded a bonus episode covering Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, we are taking next week off. So… em… enjoy having this on your feed.
