And this is just part one of – simultaneously – the longest & strongest filmic document on the most famous conjoined twins of the last century… and one of the worst films ever made. But hey, you need to see it at least once. With thanks to Vasectomie Uber Alles (to whom Facebook – TA TA! – won’t let us link; who knew?)
