Film critic Owen Gleiberman channels his inner freak! INTERVIEW

Today's Guest: Owen Gleiberman, long-time film critic for "Entertainment Weekly," author, "Movie Freak"

OWEN GLEIBERMAN podcast excerpt: "When I first saw 'Spotlight,' I was, 'Yeah, this is great! It's feeding my nostalgia for 'All The President's Men'! It's about when newspapers mattered!' It touched all of my key passion points. But the more I thought about it, I thought it was a good move, but it wasn't great. And I did watch it a second time; if anything, it looked a little less good. The major characters could have been developed more; it's not All The President's Men."

Key interview moments:
