Sitting Around Talking Movies

Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy, Bill Bregoli and Logan Hill put on their bibs and talk about the bizarre new Colin Farrell film "The Lobster" but before that they talk about the amazing Turkish film "Mustang" about growing up female in repressed country - it's a film that caught everyone by surprise and has some of us wondering if it should have won the Best Foreign Language Film at the last Oscars.

But it's always fun!
