After Erik catches up and shares his thoughts on You Can See Everything, they dive into documentaries involving a high-wire rescue (Hanging By A Wire), another trip up – and down – the mountain (Everest: The Other Side), the mystery of a 1980s bombing (Who Killed Alex Odeh?), behind-the-scenes again with the Coppola family (Making Marie Antoinette) as well as one of the greatest comedy shows of all-time (SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of). They remind you of their love from Sundance of John Turturro (The Only Living Pickpocket In New York). Spooky month ends with a dog breeder looking to expand their business (Breeder). Can a father and daughter move on from Nazi Germany (Fatherland)? Will Sacha Baron Cohen again expose our modern Nazi Germany (Ali G: Who Iz I?) Might Peter Berg literalize the metaphor between football and war (The Mosquito Bowl). Is there a frontrunner for the International Film Oscar? (La Bola Negra). Former soldier Liam Neeson has to drive fast from the cops (The Mongoose) and Ron Livingston moves next door to a holiday-loving family who may be up to no good (Christmas At The Kringles).
