Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie return with another dangerous double-feature! First up is the darkly funny neo-noir, Small Town Crime, starring John Hawkes, which the guys whole-heartedly agree on. Things take a turn for the weird with the new Nicolas Cage horror movie, Mom and Dad, in which a bizarre mania compels parents all over America to murder their children. The film straddles the line between tasteless and entertaining--and only one of our intrepid critics has the stomach for it!
Also, Ian talks about some gargantuan goings-on at Chicago's Gene Siskel Film Center, including a limited run of My Friend Dahmer; next weekend's premiere of the gripping culinary doc, 42 Grams (with director Jack C. Newell in attendance!); and a very special series of Mercury in Retrograde screenings coming your way in late February, with Q&A's moderated by David Fowlie, Matt Fagerholm of RogerEbert.com, and Ian!
