PROJECTING FILM: Sweet Virginia (The Man Who Wasn't There meets Road to Perdition)

On this episode we look at the strange connections made by characters in crime films both big and small.

Those two films lead us to new release SWEET VIRGINIA starring Jon Bernthal and Christopher Abbott as two men from the same part of the world brought together by chance and of course... crime.

Kelly Lynch interview on KEPLER'S DREAM, MAGIC CITY, DRUGSTORE COWBOY, and MR. MERCEDES

An 11-year-old girl searches for a missing rare book from her grandmother's (Holland Taylor) library and tries to understand why her family is fractured the way it is during a memorable summer at an isolated New Mexico adobe. While her mother (Kelly Lynch), like astronaut Michael Collins, goes to the dark side of the moon for a leukemia treatment, Ella must journey on her own to the strange moon of her grandmother's world. Ella's father, (Sean Patrick Flanery) orbits his daughter, as Ella befriends Miguel and Rosie to find acceptance of her mother's fate. Emotional connections are reshaped, and the music of Patrick Neil Doyle helps tell this unusual story. Today I had the chance to speak with Kelly Lynch about her role in KEPLER'S DREAM. We also discuss the documentary film THE OILER HOUSE, the architecture of John Lautner and Richard Neutra, how an early trauma propelled Kelly into her acting career, MAGIC CITY, MR. MERCEDES, THE JACKET, DRUGSTORE COWBOY, and

As usual the answers lie within a couple of other podcasts as we recommend  THE DELETED SCENE PODCAST  and  SILVER SCREEN SNOBS . But most importantly we recommend that you hit that play button.
