Coyote vs. Dog Stars. No Contest. (Episode #681)
August concludes with a slew of reviews from Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. Once again they urge you all to go see the movie that Warner Bros. tried to destroy forever (Coyote vs. Acme) and remind you about a couple they saw from Sundance this year (Idiots, Buddy). They also have the tale of a boy trying to find out what those bruises are on his mom (If I Tell You). Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut whose behind-the-scenes may be more interesting (The Deb). Three doctors stationed in Gaza want to get the truth out about the conflict with Israel (American Doctor). The Train to Busan director gives us more goopy fast zombies (Colony). Robert DeNiro tries to find his kidnapped grandson (The Whisper Man) and a group of college graduates find themselves in an existential crisis on a very long road (It Ends). The latest from Joe Swanberg has Dakota Fanning choosing between two men and herself and a young guy tries to find the woman who got away (Finding Emily). Finally, Ridley Scott takes us into the apocalypse for some reason (The Dog Stars).
