Megan is back from vacation, so she\'s excited to review this week\'s films! We start with Lauren Hadaway\'s unsettling psychological thriller THE NOVICE (2:24), about a college student\'s obsessive quest to make her school\'s varsity rowing team. Then we review Jane Campion\'s beautifully shot Western THE POWER OF THE DOG (21:42), starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jesse Plemons. The Netflix film has been racking up awards from many film critics groups, including the Boston Online Film Critics Association, so we have a lot to say about it. And in this week\'s Patreon exclusive audio, we change things up a bit by talking about our favorite movie car chases!\\xa0
