Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts expose a convoluted political conspiracy in this journalism thriller from Mr. King-of-the-’90s himself, John Grisham. Soraya Roberts (no relation) joins us to try and make sense of it all. Of course we talk about why they didn’t kiss, but there’s also porno theatre popcorn, Stanley Tucci’s love of disguises, and important discussions about Julia’s hairstyles.
