Returning guest Erik Childress talks with Jim about the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and about eight films he saw there. We first go through his feelings on the festival as a whole, as well as discuss a couple of films he missed that have gotten some decent buzz.  Then we launch into the main reviews and it's worth hearing Erik's acclaim for the last film in particular.  Included here are spoiler-free summations / reviews on these films:

Stories We Tell
Fruitvale
We Are What We Are
Crystal Fairy
Mud
Toy's House
The Lifeguard
Before Midnight
