Episode #449: 'The Drama' with Ariel LeBeau

What’s the drama behind director Kristoffer Borgli’s new film, THE DRAMA? And, unlike Mary J. Blige, do we want said drama? We unpack all that with film critic Ariel LeBeau (letterboxd.com/whiteferrari), and then talk about some movies that were secretly darker than advertised.
