This Week: Kevin stares September in the face and dares it to show him its movies. September, of course, does not flinch, so he’s only had a chance to see a couple of them.

The films that hid from him this week are the sure-to-be-bad The Wild Life, When the Bough Breaks and The Disappointments Room.
