Conrado and Rachel are joined by Collin Brinkmann, author of Intimate Impressions: The Cinema of James Gray — the first monograph / critical biography on James Gray in English - to talk about Gray's second feature THE YARDS, a mournful crime saga starring Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix and Charlize Theron. We talk about what makes Gray special, why he's so underrated as a filmmaker, and the problem-filled history of this movie's release.
