10 Losers Club | 2011
Comedy “Losers Club” (2011) opens the top ten Turkish films.

Together they host the nightly program The Losers’ Club on Kent FM. Live, they talk about life, literature and women, as if two friends are talking, sitting in some bar with a mug of beer. Their program and style cause both indignation among critics and censorship, as well as interest and recognition of listeners, who are becoming more and more over time. In their impromptu dialogues, which sometimes seem meaningless, these two cynic intellectuals raise deep philosophical topics that help someone understand and find the meaning of life, and someone learn not to be afraid to speak on topics that were previously not customary to discuss openly.
