Episode 229: 'The Lost Daughter' with Biz Ellis

Biz Ellis (from MaxFun's own One Bad Mother) joins Ify, Drea, and Alonso this week to weigh in  on Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Lost Daughter,  a raw and unflinching portrait of how annoying kids can be. Is Olivia Colman's character a bad mother? Can an introspective art film be as tense as a kaiju fight? Then, the hoses resort to movie memes to predict what 2022 will bring...
