THE REPORT + THE AMAZING JOHNATHAN DOCUMENTARY | feat. Scott Z. Burns

In this episode we get the report on The Report from director Scott Z. Burns. Plus, the amazing Amazing Johnathan Documentary... The Report is about Daniel Jones (played by Adam Driver), who is tasked by Senator Dianne Feinstein (that’s Annette Bening) with delivering a definitive report on the CIA's use of torture after 9/11. What he uncovers will shake America. But, under constant threat from the US security forces, will their publication of the 6,700 page report bring change? Our second film follows The Amazing Johnathan (John Edward Szeles), who built a career as a magician out of shock and deception in the 1980s. After Johnathan is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and given one year to live, he’s forced to retire his act. Cut to three years later: Johnathan is not dead, much to everyone’s amazement, and documentarian Ben Berman films perhaps the illusionist’s greatest trick an epic comeback tour that careens off the rails in highly entertaining and unexpected ways...
