Episode description

The Illusionist was a moderately successful and well reviewed film about a magician. The only problem was it released in the same year as The Prestige, a movie with not one but TWO magicians, and a much higher budget. This week we take a second look at the overlooked magic movie starring Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Jessica Biel to find all the things this movie got right!
