On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films: “Warfare,” a film based on an actual U.S. military operation in 2006, and “Sinners,” which features a face-off between twin brothers and a supernatural evil.

On this week’s show, co-host Nathan Weinbender regales Dan Webster, Mary Pat Treuthart, and anyone else willing to listen with tales of his recent trek to New Orleans to snack on beignets and feast on a menu of horror films at the Overlook Film Festival. They also discuss the independent film “Sacramento,” which opened in Spokane last week.

"The Ballad of Wallis Island" is about a disgruntled musician, his former partner, and the superfan who brings them back together. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a charming little comedy, especially if you like a distinctly British brand of wit.

With an all-star cast and a buzzy premise, “Death of a Unicorn” blends fantasy, comedy and horror. Unfortunately, Nathan Weinbender says, it’s one of the biggest letdowns of the year so far.

Set during an incendiary time, “The Penguin Lessons” fails to rise above its protagonist’s self-involvement, Dan Webster says.

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.”
