Episode 163: Film Buff Fran on "Gold"

Film Buff Fran is back for the first non-English-language movie we're featuring in Movie Club: "Gold: The Dream that United Our Nation," on the 1948 Indian field hockey team that competed as an independent nation for the first time at the London 1948 Olympics. Will it move us? Will we break out into a Bollywood song and dance number? Will Alison show us her abs? You'll have to listen to find out!

Our next movie will be "The Other Side of the Mountain," about skier Jill Kinmont who learns how to live after a devastating skiing accident.
