This week, we're taking a look at the beloved, Oscar-winning drama about an aging, alcoholic country singer finding salvation through the love of a single mother - it's Tender Mercies Crazy Heart! The debut film from Scott Cooper, this was sold and received as a powerhouse comeback for Jeff Bridges and, accordingly, that's who we're mostly talking about this week, delving into the ups and downs of his career, and why this movie landed like it did. Along the way we're gonna try to figure out if Cooper actually likes country, how Maggie Gyllenhaal got an Oscar nomination for this, and whether or not Colin Farrell is supposed to be playing Tim McGraw. Connor is tired of movies about addiction. Cole slanders the DPRK.
