About this episode

The episode discusses various winter entertainment options including films and streaming series.

There hasn't been a winter like this in years. Most of the country is dealing with bitter cold conditions. Of course, your local theater is prettty warm, and there's probably a cozy spot in front of your TV at home. So if your looking for entertainment options we've got lots to tell you about. We start with "Send Help" starring Rachel McAdams and directed by Sam Raimi. It's about an employee and her insufferable boss who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. Here, they must overcome past grievances and work together to make it out alive.It's pretty intense. Then there's the thriller "Crime 101" starring Chris Hemsworth as an elusive thief, eyeing his final score. Speaking of crime, there's also "Dead Man's Wire" starring Bill Skarsgard and directed by Gus Van Sant. And there's also "The Rip" which reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and puts them in Miami. Neil Rosen tells about his time on Broadway and Bill McCuddy has the streaming series "Steal" to tell you about. And oh yeah, there's "Melania" which we haven't seen but that doesn't stop us from talking about. So listen in.
