In 1988 Columbia Pictures released The Beast, a film directed by Kevin Reynolds based on a play by William Mastrosimone. It ran for a week. Dan and Mike had never heard of it until one of their listeners emailed them and told them they had to check it out. He called it "one of the best films you've never seen," and he was right. So check out The Beast (free with Amazon Prime) and then join Mike and Dan as they talk about the film's moral ambiguity, commitment to making its audience uneasy, and connections to Reservoir Dogs, Das Boot, and Apocalypse Now.
