One of the joys of moviegoing is the chance to enjoy the kind of intensity that comes from indulging in a fictional world. On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that offer that type of opportunity. The first is Weapons, a box-office-busting exercise in horror, and Cloud, a psychological thriller from Japan.
