Lawn Dogs (1997)

Laura touted this film as one of the seminal films that triggered this whole podcast journey. This was way before there was even a podcast and a website was involved with a completely different name. Laura had seen this film many moons ago and with its importance no short stretch in relation to the birthing of the podcast, we gathered a crack team of friends to analyze and scrutinize.

Returning guest Renée and newcomer Anna join the usual pair for a critical look at this John Duigan film. Let's just say delicately, this film is equal parts troubling, amusing, disturbing, and a real test of what you would find morally acceptable and no one (Laura included, funnily) ever thought we'd be put in such a quandary. Accompanying this video is also a moment at the 2015 Florida Film Festival which had "An Evening with Sam Rockwell" on stage for a live Q&A and a young Laura asking him the important question if he's planning to do any more films like this one.
