Episode #587: "The Lost Bus," "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," and "John Candy: I Like Me"

Dave is off this week, so Megan and Evan are coming at you as a duo! Megan starts by reviewing Mary Bronstein's absorbing psychological drama IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU (1:56), starring Rose Byrne as the world's most put-upon mother sinking under the weight of many simultaneous crises. Next, Evan reviews the Colin Hanks' delightful, moving documentary JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME (16:19), which chronicles the life of the late comedian John Candy through deep interviews with friends and family, home video footage, and clips from his most memorable performances. Lastly, Evan and Megan join forces to discuss the surprisingly effective Paul Greengrass Apple TV+ disaster film THE LOST BUS (34:19), which stars Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. Its harrowing plot is based on the true story chronicled in Lizzie Johnson's book "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire." And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we discuss Dan Gilroy's neo-noir thriller NIGHTCRAWLER, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
