Today Griffey and Dandino grapple with themselves...lots of themselves in Identity. They discuss how the film builds itself around the core twist of the film, the amazing cast bringing elevating performances, and the bizarre legal machinations of this one man show defense tactic.

Today on New Movie Monday Griffey, Heath and Sam face an unexpected interpretation of a cursed artifact of the past - Faces of Death. Is it a remake? A Sequel? A copout?
