Misery - Ep44 The Film Critic & The Common Man

In this week's episode, Ben and Jake talk Rob Reiner's 1990 suspense thriller Misery.

It's our month of listener's choice episode. Special thanks to our mom, Kyla, for picking this film!

Join them as they talk about the claustrophobic narrative, the fascinating subtext of Stephen King's book, and the exceptional performances of James Caan and especially Kathy Bates. Jake does solid work on Reiner's directorial career in "Poll for a Dumbass" while Ben talks typewriters in "The Hot Box."
