After somewhat of a dry spell, Gus Van Sant comes out swinging with one of his most consistently entertaining features in decades, a rousing truth-based crime dramedy that relates the relatively simple tale of a twitchy, outraged Indianapolis man taking a banker hostage.

Bill Maher agreed with a guest on his show who floated the idea that someone killed Jeffrey Epstein and his death was not a suicide as has reported. Monday's episode of Club Random featured filmmaker Gus Van Sant. At one point in the conversation, the two talked about Epstein and his connections to some of the most powerful people on the planet. Citing emails released in one of the government's file dumps, Maher marveled at Epstein acting as a love guru for those same people.
