Ian and David ring in 2023 with a review of one of 2022's best films!

Broker is Hirokazu Koreeda's gripping dramedy, which begins with a young mother's decision to leave her newborn outside of an infant drop-box--and expands to encompass black market adoptions, gangsters, murder, and the oddest case of "found family" you're likely to see!

In this spoiler-ish discussion (don't worry, the heavy portions are called out beforehand), David gives Ian a crash course in Koreeda's filmography; the guys discuss whether or not Broker is a "message" movie; and Ian draws some bizarre parallels to Tony Scott's True Romance and the newly released killer-doll flick, M3GAN!

Broker is now playing at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago! Check the link below for tickets and showtimes.
