OV152 - The Revenant (2015) Review - The Station Agent, Dirty Grandpa, Focus, Tiny on The Jinx, and RiffTrax Live: The Room

1 hour 40 minutes

This week, Tiny and I review the Oscar nominated The Revenant. Before that, however, we talk about a couple news items from the week including Josh Boone’s The Stand being shelved and Elizabeth Banks being cast in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. For our Potpourri section, we discuss The Station Agent, Dirty Grandpa, Focus, The Jinx, and my experience seeing the RiffTrax Live version of The Room.
