Unwatchables closes out the year (and season one!) with film critic Keith Phipps, former film editor of the AV Club and The Dissolve, co-host of The Next Picture Show, and author of Age of Cage. In the spirit of the season, this is a special REVERSE episode: two heartwarming family films from directors who unusually specialize in the Unwatchable. First up is David Lynch’s G-rated Disney drama The Straight Story, followed by Rob Zombie’s PG take on the family sitcom The Munsters. If we squint really hard, can we still make out the provocateurs behind the camera?
