Tim and Tay are once again joined by James Stacey (The Grey Nato) to talk about our final Denis Villeneuve pick for our potlucks: Prisoners. We discuss to what degree this movie has aged well, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, and the consistent cinematographic mastery that Roger Deakins brings to the movies he shoots.
