This week, Twitty and the Bran are tackling films about tortured geniuses.

First up we have "The End of the Tour". Chronicling the meeting of famed writer David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky; this flick is a gripping character study that effects us on a deeply personal level.

 

Sure to balance it out with some laughs, we move on to discus "A Futile and Stupid Gesture." Detailing the rise of Comic writer Doug Kenney, and the massively successful National Lampoon brand, this one gives us some comedy to work with, while still diving into nuanced character study of a brilliant, tortured mind.
