Episode #395: ‘Magazine Dreams’ with David Gborie

We're covering a movie that started out as a noteworthy Sundance debut from director Elijah Bynum, but later became noteable for much less fun reasons. While we attempt to separate art from artist -- in this case, star Jonathan Majors -- the film's intensity and dark subject matter don't make that a simple task. We've got writer and comedian David Gborie (instagram.com/coolguyjokes87) with us to assist. Then, we go through some of the non-horror movies that most freaked us out.
