Indie Hits For Those Tired Of Summer Blockbusters

Phoebe Gloeckner

An outspoken comedian, an explicit diary, and a snappy grandmother are just some of the subjects of this year's hottest Indie films. Tom Hall sits down with our movie know-it-alls, Jed Dietz of the Maryland Film Festival and Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post to get the latest Indie movie recommendations, for those tired of Summer blockbusters.

Tom and his guests discuss such films as Call Me Luckya documentary directed by Bobcat Goldthwait about the radical comedian Barry Crimmins; The Diary of a Teenage Girl, a drama focusing on the agency of a 15 year old girl in the 1970s; Grandmaa comedy starring Lily Tomlin; andMistress Americathe newest film by Noah Baumbach that has critics raving. 

Hear about all these films and more in Maryland Morning's monthly movie roundup.

Host, Midday (M-F 12:00-1:00)
