There isn't much of a bigger story in movies right now than the release of a new Jordan Peele movie, and "Us" looks like it might be even a bigger hit than "Get Out." How does it compare to that movie, and how does it stand on its own? We have an extended conversation, and then we discuss, with spoilers, the ending.
Then we look at the Mel Gibson-Vince Vaughn cop thriller "Dragged Across Concrete," and the Steubenville documentary "Roll Red Roll." Then, in our Reboot segment, we look at Francis Ford Coppola's odd "Rumble Fish."
