This week, the Mikes dig into Hide and Seek, a 2005 psychological thriller with De Niro as a therapist dad who moves upstate with his daughter, only to get lost in a parade of creepy neighbors, endless red herrings, and Dakota Fanning's unsettling imaginary friend. We break down the film's weird small-town energy, De Niro's unusually sleepy performance, and why every supporting character seems suspicious for no reason. Plus: therapist mansion economics, a heated bath vs. shower debate, and why even a solid twist can't save a movie where so little actually happens. Wikipedia page for Hide and Seek.
