OV412 - Night Swim (2024) & Self Reliance (2024) - Guest: Sam Watermeier

This week, I am joined by Sam Watermeier (of MidwestFilmJournal.com) to review Night Swim (currently in theaters) in a non-spoiler and spoiler review. Then, in our secondary review, we discuss Jake Johnson’s Self Reliance (now streaming on Hulu). For Potpourri, Sam talks about seeing Fargo on 35mm at the Historic Artcraft Theatre while I share my thoughts on The Wages of Fear.
