Episode 69: Steven Spielberg Part II

Friend and Chicago film critic Erik Childress returns to the show for another discussion about the legendary Steven Spielberg, this time focusing on the latter portion of his career for part two. We start off by focusing on his sci-fi noir MINORITY REPORT and then we take a look at his response to 9/11 with the political spy thriller MUNICH.  We later expand upon some more of his other films as well including LINCOLN and INDIANA JONES AND THE CRYSTAL SKULL. In addition, Jim takes a look back at the 1985 coming-of-age drama, SMOOTH TALK, Erik continues to sing the praises of the awesome LEGO MOVIE, and of course, we also discuss TRUE DETECTIVE. Frank from Film Junk will be joining us in two weeks to talk about CITIZEN RUTH & ABOUT SCHMIDT for the Alexander Payne episode! This is a public episode.
