Here at Movies 101 we like to say we seek out great cinema wherever we can find it. On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart try to prove it. Not only do they discuss a big-screen feature titled Origin and a Hulu streamer titled Self Reliance, but they also give a quick preview of the coming Spokane International Film Festival.
