Film Roundup: ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Jack Reacher’

Hosted by Madeleine Brand and KCRW Staff Oct. 21, 2016

Something for everyone this weekend at the movies. Jack Reacher: Never Look Back is the blockbuster, but indies like Moonlight and The Handmaiden will be drawing crowds as well. And a scarefest set in the 60s comes just in time for Halloween.
