Episode 154 - The Wolfpack

A story like this is a rarity; so intriguing and completely true.  The six Angulo brothers have lived their entire lives inside an apartment on Manhattan's Lower East Side.  They relieve their boredom by acting out their favorite movies, even creating elaborate costumes, like a Batman costume made from cereal boxes and yoga mats.  This documentary reveals the home life of these likable young men, as well as their father, whose idea it was to keep his family inside and off of the streets.  'The Wolfpack' has a fascinating beginning, but the film suffers from that old adage that movies are life with the boring parts cut out.  Andrew and Phil agree the film ends on an anti-climactic note with no conflict or resolution to satisfy the viewer.  Still, the story is interesting enough, and the home movie footage of the boys is mesmerizing.
