Jenna and Veronica discuss both versions of Nightmare Alley – Edmund Goulding's noir take from 1947 and Guillermo Del Toro's recent release. They also address the necessity for explicit violence in film and why certain auteur directors don’t always click with them.
Dan and Jenna team up to watch what Martin Short himself called his "leading man years" – a string of movie roles that set him up to become the next big thing in cinema and never really went anywhere big.
