We continue Grab Bag month with a film that has two titles, three leading men, and zero chances of being as good as the sum of its parts: Deceiver. Starring Chris Penn, Michael Rooker, and Tim Roth, the three men find themselves at the heart of a murder mystery involving Renee Zellweger cut in half and dumped around NYC. It sounds exciting but it falters under the weight of its own twists and turns.

Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about the performances, where this movie went after it was released, and that totally strange epilogue.
