Pop Culture Case Study - Episode 260 - The Glass Castle

I invite Jessi Lauren on to talk about THE GLASS CASTLE.  We cover a number of topics including the movie, her dislike of Woody Harrelson, her love of Brie Larson/SHORT TERM 12, and redheads growing up poor.  We touch on most of the performances and the shortcomings of the film. Sadly, a technical glitch ruined fangirl fixation this week, so no Britt.  But, in summary.  THE SPECTACULAR NOW is not good, but THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD looks hilarious.  Who knew?
