    The Post-Conventions Campaign

    The conventions are over, and the country seems as polarized as ever. Will Green Party candidate Jill Stein play spoiler, or pave the way for a viable third party. We review new movies like Bourne, Bad Moms, and two new documentaries. And a marijuana-judging contest.

    The DNC has wrapped up, and after two weeks of non-stop conventioning, the question of unity still lingers. Is the electorate more polarized than ever? Will a third party candidate emerge to siphon votes away from Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. We hear from Green Party candidate, Jill Stein. New movies like Bourne, Bad Moms, and two new documentaries about two influential artists, photographer Robert Frank and Hollywood costume designer Orry-Kelly open this weekend. And in Oregon, a marijuana judging contest will be take place at the state fair, without any actual marijuana consumption.
