Real life trumps fiction this week on the movie review edition of the podcast. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy discuss seven new movies including revisiting two of the best documentaries from the festival circuit this year. One involves the continued struggles of gun control after another tragedy (Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down) and another chronicles the relationship of two volcano researchers up close and personal (Fire of Love). Steve looks at the horrors of healing with Alice Krige (She Will) and Erik finds another kind of horror in concealing a life-threatening diagnosis (Don’t Make Me Go). Lesley Manville goes off in search of a Dior dress she desperately wants (Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris) and Dakota Johnson goes to Jane Austen land hoping to reclaim the love of her life while talking to us (Persuasion). Finally, the duo looks to find an answer to Where The Crawdads Sing and discover that they could not care less.
