Episode: Melanie Chung on Prisoners
Description: Hello (Again) director Melanie Chung plumbs the psychological depths of Denis Villeneuve's all-star 2013 thriller Prisoners -- the one where Hugh Jackman holds Paul Dano hostage in a basement to solve his daughter's disappearance, while Jake Gyllenhaal's obsessive detective conducts his own equally fevered investigation. Your genial host Norm Wilner warns you: We talk about the ending almost immediately, so if you haven't seen Prisoners you're probably going to want to do that first.
