Movie Date: 'Maleficent,' 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' and Special Guest Clive Owen

from The Takeaway: Movie Date · host PRX, WNYC Studios, GBH

What makes a hero and hero and a villain a villain? And are the two really so different? Rafer and Kristen mull over these questions as they look at this week's big releases, which include "Maleficent" (the story of "Sleeping Beauty's" evil fairy); "A Million Ways To Die In the West" (which looks at the romance between a sheep farmer and a gun-slinging wanderer with a checkered past); and "Words and Pictures" (which centers on a teacher who's truly inspiring to his students, but an alcoholic mess on his own time). Talking Rafer and Kristen through the intricacies of "Words and Pictures" is the one and only Clive Owen, who stars in the film. A very special thanks to Jay Cowit and Cambra Moniz-Edwards, who performed and wrote music on this week's podcast.
