## Resource

This week, Jason chose Locke (2013) for our viewing pleasure, and what an excellent choice it was. If only Jason got to choose all the movies, then we wouldn't have to watch things like Spectre or Ironman . I digress. Our intrepid podcasters both agree that Locke is a five-star movie, a masterpiece of character. They discuss whether one choice defines a life, when is it okay to lie, the ways in which Ivan Locke is constructed, and how one crack in the wrong place can bring down an entire building... or an entire human. What are your thoughts on Locke? E-mail us at thedesertofthereelpod@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!
