Seeing and Believing Episode 134: Dee Rees’s Mudbound and Dan Gilroy’s Roman J. Israel, Esq.

The Deep South circa World War II and Los Angeles circa 2017 meet in this week’s episode. First up is Mudbound, Dee Rees’s film for Netflix about the entangled lives of two Southern families. Then Wade and Kevin turn their attention to Dan Gilroy’s follow-up to Nightcrawler, the Denzel Washington-starring Roman J. Israel, Esq.
