For the first show of the New Year, we’re sharing a couple of previously unaired live conversations: Adam with Matt Singer about Jeff Nichols’s TAKE SHELTER, recorded at Filmspotting Fest; and Adam with Michael Phillips about John Sayles’s 1996 western noir LONE STAR at the City of Chicago’s Siskel & Ebert at 50 celebration.

This episode is presented by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Regal Unlimited⁠⁠⁠, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
