413 - Stoker (2013)

"Sometimes you need to do something bad to stop you from doing something worse." For Episode 413, Thomas and Brandon start CineNation's Southern Gothic with an interesting choice, STOKER. Listen as they discuss director Park Chan-wook's first (and so far only) American film, the mystery behind the film's screenwriter, which A-list actors were up for the lead roles, why Nicole Kidman sought out the film, how they used the Nashville setting within the film, why the film was a box office failure, and so much more!
