Cinema SitDown

LaF has a big show this week for episode 98. The L-Train and Mr. Two-Frames are reviewing the indie thriller Altered Minds starring Judd Hirsch, C.S. Lee, and Ryan O'Nan. The movie opens across America on November 20th in ten cities, and is available on both VOD and all major streaming services. The film centers around a family reunion that goes awry when an accusation is made about the dying father, who may have performed psychological experiments on his adopted children. The movie was written and directed by Michael Wechsler, who was kind enough to sit down with the L-Train for a interview about the film and how it got made. Later in the show, Mr. Two-Frames talks to C.S. Lee, aka Vince Masuka on Dexter, about his key role in Altered States, acting in television versus film, and how he is able to handle dramatic and comedic roles. What did you think of Altered Minds?
