Prisoners clearly wants to be viewed as a "serious" movie with "serious" performances in order to attract awards attention, but Andrew and Monica aren\u2019t sure it\u2019s deserving of that recognition. In fact, they aren\u2019t really sure they can explain the convoluted plot of the film. In this episode, they break it down and try to figure out the multiples layers on which it\u2019s attempting to function. Is there any political subtext commenting on post-9/11 America? Does the Bob Taylor subplot make any sense at all? And what\u2019s up with all the religious imagery? Tune in to find out.
