    On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss three movies that tell stories involving death: David Cronenberg’s latest release “The Shrouds,” the Netflix crime saga “Havoc,” and the African streaming feature “On Becoming a Guinea Fowl.”

    On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that are examples of pure entertainment—while, at the same time, offering up other qualities as well. Specifically “The Wedding Banquet,” writer-director Andrew Ahn’s remake of the 1993 Ang Lee film, and the streaming baseball feature “Eephus.”

    “Eephus” is an ode to the rituals of baseball, and a strange comedy about male friendship. Nathan Weinbender says the low-budget ensemble film is one of the small jewels of the year.

    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.

    The film “Warfare” inserts us in an intense combat situation, even as it ignores the larger political implications, Dan Webster says.

    On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a four-part Netflix limited miniseries out of England titled “Adolescence,” and the latest entertainment from Steven Soderbergh, titled “Black Bag.”
