Summary

For this week's main review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Cody Dericks. Together, we are discussing the latest film from Netflix, "The Forty-Year-Old Version" starring, written, directed and produced by Radha Blank. Premiering earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival where Blank won the Best Directing prize, the film is a singular vision from a unique voice on the indie filmmaking scene and quote possibly, the breakout of the year. Take a listen to our thoughts as we discuss one of the year's most buzzed about independent films and the promise it shows for the film's creator.
