59: Jessica Lipki (Chili Finger)

Back at it again at the Music Box Theatre!  Long time listeners may remember in 2023 when Barry and Patrick saw a screening of ERIC LARUE at the Music Box as part of the Chicago International Film Festival and their minds were blown.  This year, the Chicago Critics' Film Festival displayed some excellent taste and included CHILI FINGER as part of their program, which is a small town caper starring John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, Sean Astin and Judy Motherfuckin' Greer.  Can a movie that begs comparisons to the Coen Brothers stand on its own?  Whose finger was in the chili?  And, most important of all, who showed up for the post-screening Q&A?  Only one way to find out, since Chili Finger is still making the rounds at film festivals as of this episode's release.   Liked the episode?  Let us know with happy funtime capitalism points!
