This week, Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) sit down to talk the Sundance hit, THE WEIGHT.

We also run through a quick recap of the 78th Emmy Awards and chat about what we’ve been watching lately.

As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review.

PLOT SUMMARY:

When Samuel is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal prison, Warden Clancy offers him a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and he’ll win his freedom.

Written by: Matthew Booi, Shelby Gaines
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Russell Crowe, Julia Jones, Austin Amelio, Avi Nash, Lucas Lynggaard, Tønnesen, George Burgess, Cameron Bracy, Avy Berry, Alec Newman, Sam Hazeldine
