On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss Steven Soderbergh’s newest film, “The Christophers,” which stars the great stage actor Ian McKellen. They follow that with a look at the latest film by the Palestinian-American director Cherien Dabis titled “All That’s Left of You.”

“All That’s Left of You” is a powerful tale of three generations of a Palestinian family, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a pair of films boasting protagonists with wildly diverse appeals. The films are the theatrical release “Fantasy Life” and the streaming feature “Outcome.”

“Fantasy Life” is a flawed study of emotionally stunted characters in search of their respective life purposes, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that explore the meaning of tension in two different ways. The first is “The Drama,” a study of a couple about to be married who begin to obsess over something from the past. The other is “Crime 101,” an exploration of the lives of several desperate characters, one of whom embarks on a plan to get rich quick.

Aptly titled “The Drama” is a study of two troubled souls coming apart just when they should be bonding in marriage, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two foreign films that are radically unique: the Oscar-nominated Spanish-French film “Sirāt” and the French film “Alpha.”

The Oscar-nominated “Sirāt” takes viewers on a heartbreakingly surreal road trip through Morocco’s desert, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the latest sci-fi space venture, “Project Hail Mary,” a Ryan Gosling vehicle based on Andy Weir’s best-selling novel. They also share their choices for, as they like to say, “their favorite space-travel movies that aren’t ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’”

“Project Hail Mary” takes a serious subject and lightens it up with a buoyant Ryan Gosling performance, Dan Webster says.
