Earl Brown, Anna Gunn, Molly Parker, Brad Dourif, Gerald McRaney and Dayton Callie.

Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought.

Also, Rocha and Shannon let you know if they like this film as a capper to the series and Vogel lets you know if this got him motivated to go back and watch the series.
