We spun the virtual wheel for \\u201cNetflix Roulette\\u201d and wound up with a movie we had trouble approaching: 2015\\u2019s "The Gift." What at first seems like a \\u201ccreepy guy starts getting too close to the nice couple\\u201d thriller begins to take unexpected turns as the wife starts digging into the creepy guy\\u2019s past. The tone of the film is odd, and gets darker and more unsettling as it goes along. Join David, Brett, and Nicole as they ponder things like, Is this the most horrifying movie we\\u2019ve watched? How does Jason Bateman\\u2019s character get his influence? Does the punishment at the end fit the crime? And will we ever look at a monkey the same way again?

Next week is Future Classics. David brings us "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
