There is one thing that I genuinely miss about early 00s indie films. Going into the video rental shop and seeing a cover with one of your favorite actors and just taking a whim on a new film. That's exactly how I discovered Pieces of April from 2003.

Starring Katie Holmes who we all loved from Dawson's Creek, and with Patricia Clarkson playing her mother it immediately caught my attention. With a shoe string budget the story and incredible acting takes such a simple story of family dynamics over a holiday weekend and it spins into such a great story and film to watch this season.

Me and Mikey talk about our first time watch (we think?), being shocked this was the only time Patricia Clarkson was nominated for an Oscar, and talk all about how great 'baddie' Katie Holmes looks.
