#27 – The Gift

We spun the virtual wheel for “Netflix Roulette” and wound up
with a movie we had trouble approaching: 2015’s "The Gift." What
at first seems like a “creepy guy starts getting too close to the
nice couple” thriller begins to take unexpected turns as the wife
starts digging into the creepy guy’s past. The tone of the film
is odd, and gets darker and more unsettling as it goes along.
Join David, Brett, and Nicole as they ponder things like, Is this
the most horrifying movie we’ve watched? How does Jason Bateman’s
character get his influence? Does the punishment at the end fit
the crime? And will we ever look at a monkey the same way again?


Next week is Future Classics. David brings us "The Grand Budapest
Hotel."
