Episode #478: 'Wicker' with Brea Grant

Olivia Colman is a rude yet disarming fisherwoman. Alexander Skarsgård is a man made out of wicker, at her request. By Peter Dinklage. If you need more reasons to consider the new "fable" movie, WICKER, we're considering it this week with Reading Smut (maximumfun.org/podcasts/reading-smut) and Reading Glasses (maximumfun.org/podcasts/reading-glasses) co-host Brea Grant. Then, we'll talk about other fables we think would make great films. Plus, another Christmas Movie Minute in the books!
