It took eleven episodes, but Brian Skutle of the Sonic Cinema managed to suggest a film that I wasn't so keen on myself, Richard Linklater's Waking Life (2001). However, this led to a fascinating conversation about narrative structure, the animation, themes of the film and so much more.

In this episode of the Film For Thought podcast, Amy invites guest Joe from the Color Positive Movies YouTube channel to discuss a blindspot of hers: 2011's Warrior. From the narrative, use of MMA fighting and some of Gavin O'Connor's direction, there is a lot to discuss here.
