August 02, 2017

We hide in the shadows for A Ghost Story, then do a retro review of David Lowery's first feature-film, Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013). We also discuss the new trailers for Darren Aronofsky's Mother! and Stephen King's It, then we try to figure out why more blockbusters are flopping, and how much artistic control directors are given on blockbusters. Intro: (0:00) Henry's sick, and Braden discovers something unfortunate on his cell phone.
