Our assignment: Longlegs, Osgood Perkins' insidiously stylish brain-twister featuring off-the-hook performances by Maika Monroe, Alicia Witt, and a barely recognizable Nicolas Cage. Along for the fun, in the next installment of our "Campus Radio" segment, is Mr. Marcus Dunstan, director of the new film #AMFAD All My Friends Are Dead.
