Who doesn’t love an aptly named movie? 1996’s Sleepers is a 2 hour and 27 minute film with about 12 minutes of story - and even those 12 minutes are virtually unbearable. But that’s not to say there aren’t some wild moments to talk about. In this week’s episode, we’ll cover the movie in full plus the undeniable similarities it shares with a famous Stephen King property, the uselessness of the “based on a true story” marketing trope, and the time Dustin drank holy water. All of that and more awaits!

Warning: the film Sleepers deals with the topic of child abuse and pedophilia, and our episode covers those subjects in context with how the movie portrays them.

Sleepers stars Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver, Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, and Brad Pitt. Directed by Barry Levinson.
