We here at Movies 101 central try always to find themes that bind the films we review. Sometimes, though, our attempts are thwarted—and that’s the case for this week’s show, in which Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that are fully independent of one another. Said films are the psychologically complex buddy study A Real Pain and the musical crime saga Emilia Pérez.
