Aren\\u2019t we ALL prisoners in our own way?????

The fun times you had with us on The Sandlot, Hot Rod and Barbie is OVER: time to get super serious with Denis Villeneuve\\u2019s Prisoners. This 2013 film stars Hugh Jackman as a father in search of his abducted daughter and Jake Gyllenhaal as the detective assigned to the case. Olivia dissects the various characters\\u2019 prisons using her therapist superpowers and Isaac nerds out about the intricacies of the layered plot. Sleepovers? Bad. Terrence Howard? Really good. Viola Davis? Even better. Paul Dano? The performance that got him the part of the Riddler (probably). Although this is a very very intense film, we highly recommend it. Tune in to hear more!

Warning: Isaac and Olivia express their excitement for the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the Bikeriders, Killers of the Flower Moon, and share their enthusiasm for the raunchy teen comedy Bottoms before diving into Prisoners.
