In Lynn Shelton’s new movie ‘Sword of Trust,’ Marc Maron plays Mel, a cranky, down-on-his-luck pawn shop owner in Alabama. Mel has been around, but even he doesn’t know what to make of a sword that Cynthia, played by Jillian Bell, and her partner Mary, played by Michaela Watkins, bring in to his shop. They claim it belonged to Cynthia’s recently deceased grandfather--and that it dates from the Civil War--though they have a hard time pinning down exactly which battle.
