On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are riding like lightning and crashing like thunder in the 2012 film from Derek Cianfrance, The Place Beyond the Pines.

Three storylines. One film. A father and son tale for the ages. Coming this Sunday\u2026 Sunday\u2026 SUNDAY! to a podcast player near you, it\u2019s a deep and complex film about a man who robs banks to help provide for the son he never knew he had. It\u2019s about a cop whose split-second mistake turns his life upside down. It\u2019s about the sons of these two men, looking to navigate their way through a broken and tumultuous world.

In a word, it\u2019s Gosling-tastic.

The film suggests that our actions reverberate down through the generations. A sort of real-time, linear butterfly effect. Anyone who\u2019s ever, well, done anything in their life can attest to the accuracy of the film. All of our actions have consequences. Sometimes they\u2019re minor. Sometimes they shake the foundation of your life.

In the case of the character, Avery, sometimes it turns you into a scheming politician with a wayward son. In Luke\u2019s case, sometimes you bite the bullet and your son turns into a lost person who ventures into the world seeking identity and contentment.

In our case, dear reader and listener, sometimes you get to watch and talk about an excellent film. A story that\u2019s going to stick with you long after the end credits have finished rolling. A movie that might just zoom way up on your list of favorites. It\u2019s just that affecting and strong.
