The ContendersShirley (2020)Three hosts. Two podcasts. One film. This week, the Addington siblings join “Hard to Believe” host John Brooks to do a deep dive into the murky waters of Josphine Decker’s biopic of Shirley Jackson, anchored by a searing Elizabeth Moss performance.

We dig into all these questions, and then Tobin and John go head-to-head in a game for the ages. Not one to miss!
