This week we dive into three intriguing indie films:

1. Daddio: A two-hander starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, set entirely in a NYC taxi ride. Is this intimate dialogue-driven film worth the fare?

2. Janet Planet: A meditative character study of a mother and daughter in 1991 rural Massachusetts. We discuss its unique pacing and visual style.

3. Ghostlight: A construction worker joins a local theater’s Romeo and Juliet production. One of our hosts gives it a rave review!
