Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy look at six movies on this week’s show. They review a story of the brutal military service of South Africa (Moffie), what a refugee will do to flee civil war (The Man Who Sold His Skin), a visual landscape brought to you by one of Terrence Malick’s cinematographers (Awaken) and how one survives the night shift at a haunted hospital (The Power). Most of their discussion this week is reserved for how Ben Falcone is failing Melissa McCarthy in their fifth collaboration (Thunder Force) and what happens when a filmmaker tries to mask the classic story he’s really telling by ignoring the more interesting one he’s created (Voyagers.)   0:00 - Intro 1:46 - Moffie 5:51 - The Man Who Sold His Skin 10:15 - Awaken 14:51 - The Power 21:19 - Thunder Force 41:51 - Voyagers 1:03:40 - Outro
