Episode Synopsis

It’s a bit of a switch up this week as the pick isn’t coming from Owen or Gaius but from our very own Jackson Pye who is popping in from the main show with his pick, Killer Joe. Released in 2011, the film is directed by William Friedkin with a screenplay by Tracy Letts, which is based on his 1993  play of the same name. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, Gina Gershon, and Thomas Haden Church, and it follows a young man whose debt puts his life in danger so he turns to putting a hit out on his evil mother in order to collect the insurance. The trio explore many aspects of the film, including a few controversial scenes that have turned the film into a bit of a cult favorite. They also dive into the performances, issues with its NC-17 rating and how this began a series of films that began McConaughey reshaping his career as a respected actor.
