This week Dave admits why he\\u2019s way too excited about his car getting detailed, before Kris declares that his beard might be magical. Prior to the week\\u2019s main event, the guys serve up a heaping helping of recaps. Evan leads off with a segment of \\u201cCrewind,\\u201d where he offers his take on PHOENIX (6:06), a film that Dave spoilerpieced many moons ago. After he talks about his reaction to the German film\\u2019s incredible ending, he tackles SHINING THROUGH (10:35), the Melanie Griffith picture where she\\u2019s a sharp half-Jewish woman who spies on the Germans with Michael Douglas during World War II. Then Dave takes over with \\u201cRiedel\\u2019s Recaps\\u201d of I DON\\u2019T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE (20:43), a movie he liked more than Evan, who spoilerpieced it earlier this year, and THOR (24:41), which he was not impressed by. Finally, all three gents delve into DETROIT (34:01), Kathryn Bigelow\\u2019s chronicle of the brutality and murder at the Algiers Motel during the 1967 Detroit riot. In their commentary, the guys address criticisms leveled by other critics that the film is exploitative, while also sharing their personal\\xa0reactions to it.
