b"It's Thanksgiving time, and that's means it's time for families. But before you head to twitter to compete for the dysfunctional family Thanksgiving award, give this episode a listen. You thought your family caused problems when they get together? They've got nothin' on the families in this episode.

First up is Jeremy Saulnier's sophomore film, BLUE RUIN. A tight, noir-ish thriller starring the talented Macon Blair. Dwight is a character mourning for his murdered mother and father. When the man who was convicted of the crime is released from jail, the awkward and quiet Dwight decides to take a vengeance most savage.

Following that: John Hawkes and Jennifer Lawrence team up in this Ozark Mountain sleuthing noir. A years-ahead-of-her-age teen must track down her delinquent father or risk losing the family home. It's the Oscar nominated WINTER'S BONE rounding out this episode."
