Rod Lurie's 2000 feminist political thriller, THE CONTENDER, is our feature presentation this week. We talk Steven Spielberg & DreamWorks manipulating the film against Gary Oldman's wishes, the Liberal politics at the core of the film, that Jeff Bridges' monologue, and much more! We also pick our TOP 7 JOAN ALLEN FILMS in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7. Become a regular here at THE BROKEN VCR!
