When it comes to creating art, having a good imagination is key. On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a pair of films that, each in its own way, indulge in imagination. The films are Bong Joon Ho’s blend of sci-fi and comedic social commentary titled Mickey 17, and the Errol Morris documentary CHAOS: The Manson Murders.
