This is not your typical Oscars show. Today, Ian is joined once again by Pat "The Über Critic" McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com for a look at three awards contenders in the "Documentary Feature" category. While discussing O.J.: Made in America, I Am Not Your Negro, and 13th, the guys veer into complex and multi-faceted conversations about race, law, conspiracy, and entertainment.
Also, Ian recommends Kedi, a warm and fuzzy documentary opening today at the Music Box Theatre, and provides a heads-up on Asian Pop-Up Cinema's fourth season, which kicks off next week.
Episode 197 reaches beyond the glitz to spotlight a handful of films that artfully confront escapism.
