Please rate & review The Movies on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you listen to the show!---Kate Cobb's directorial debut, OKIE, stars Scott Michael Foster as Louie, a writer returning to his rural hometown after his father's death. Going back home is always complicated, but more so because he's unflatteringly based his stories on said town and its community. What starts as a day trip to collect final mementos devolves into a weeklong excursion through old haunts, hanging out with old friends and old flames. The difficult feelings swirl and Louie struggles to determine whether the recurring spectral glimpse of his father is hallucination or a sign of something more concerning.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
