The biggest story in entertainment is the increasingly horrific stories involving Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and others, and before we get into this week's movies, we discuss how we talk about movies, and off-screen scandals, and whether we can truly ever separate the two. It's a searching conversation in which neither of us quite come up with the answers, but we do try.
Then it's time for the big hit of the weekend, "Thor: Ragnarok." Grierson solos on "Last Flag Flying," "Lady Bird" and "LBJ," and then it's the centerpiece, a discussion of the wonderful, still-breathtaking "Punch Drunk Love" from Paul Thomas Anderson.
