Barb Lind returns as we look at yet another film nominated for Best Picture in 2018 – Get Out!

Fine performances anchor this movie that is disturbing not so much because of how the story is told but because so much of the story is true.
Note: We apologize for the late posting of this episode. This episode, we return to the works of director Martin Scorsese to watch the film Hugo. Jena was unable to join us so we appointed stunt Jena Sean O’Laughlin to watch the film with us. Hugo is notable for being a film almost completely unlike any other film by Martin Scorsese. It starts out as a children’s movie and morphs into a love letter about film preservation. It is also visually amazing. We dissect all of this in our conversation after watching the film.
