Circle of Violence: A Family Drama with Doug Jones

from Mama Needs a Movie · host Mama Needs a Movie

Mama Needs a Movie discusses its first-ever TV movie with actor and voracious cinephile Doug Jones (Everything Is Terrible). Made for CBS in 1986, CIRCLE OF VIOLENCE: A FAMILY DRAMA features an impressive cast including Tuesday Weld, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and River Phoenix in a mother-daughter story tackling the issue of elder abuse. The film is a late-career effort from veteran British director David Green and alternates between moments touching and baffling. The spirited and wide-ranging discussion with Doug also somehow manages to fold in The Silent Partner, The Wonder Years, Interiors, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Beatles: Get Back, The Mosquito Coast, Coming to America, Two of a Kind, and so much more.  CIRCLE OF VIOLENCE: A FAMILY DRAMA is currently available to view on YouTube.
