Andrew and special guest, producer and cinematographer Jon Bewley, cover the hit indie drama, Lost In Translation, from 2003. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Priscilla), this carefully told Oscar-winning experience is so true to life and craftily made, you can't help but feel every ounce of what the two lead characters are going through in their lives.

Andrew and Jon take on such topics as common criticism of more simplistic films, the "perfect" title, Coppola's craftsmanship of the characters and moments, takes on the controversial final sequence, what the movie retrospectively means in the post social media age, and much more.

Andrew and special guest, Nicholas Stonehouse, deconstruct the mystifying and creeptastic South Korean horror/thriller, The Wailing, from 2016. Written and directed by Na Hong Jin (The Chaser), this spooky spectacle of eclectic vibes, colors, and meanings will give you something different to wail about every time you watch it!

Andrew and Stonehouse dive into such topics as the nature of ”confusing” cinema, what makes The Wailing truly unique, the different interpretations of a most complicated villain, what scared Andrew and Stonehouse and why, and much more!

Andrew and special guest, writer and director Jesse Mendelsohn, take a whack at the intriguing sports drama, Moneyball, from 2011. Directed by Bennett Miller and written by powerhouses Steven Zailian and Aaron Sorkin, this entertaining and extremely well-acted true story portrait of a man who changed everything in professional baseball is a masterclass example of a film that is much more meaningful than it appears to be!

Andrew and Jesse discuss such topics as the one-of-a-kind presence and artistry of Brad Pitt in this film, how the story transcends merely the topic of baseball, the emotional and meaningful story of lead character Billy Beane, how the film accomplishes powerful commentary with subtlety, and so much more.

IT'S TIME TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE!!
