In this week's podcast, Glenn and Daniel conclude this year's 45th Seattle International Film Festival with a dark dramedy-cum-Socratic dialogue about the relationship and responsiveness of art when it comes to preserving the dark side of history. But enough about Putin's Witnesses! We're also seeing the provocative Closing Night selection, and checking out Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, Booksmart, the younger sister and older soul to Superbad. (01:11:05)
