I invite Jessi Lauren on to talk about THE GLASS CASTLE.  We cover a number of topics including the movie, her dislike of Woody Harrelson, her love of Brie Larson/SHORT TERM 12, and redheads growing up poor.  We touch on most of the performances and the shortcomings of the film.   Sadly, a technical glitch ruined fangirl fixation this week, so no Britt.  But, in summary.  THE SPECTACULAR NOW is not good, but THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD looks hilarious.  Who knew?   The Glass Castle Spoilers: 0:25:41   Follow Jessi on Twitter!   Check out our Network!
