Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
The new film "Better Living Through Chemistry" shows just how easy and dangerous it can be for a pharmacist to slip into his own supply.
The film is set in the small fictional town of Woodbury and stars Sam Rockwell as a pharmacist named Doug. Doug's got a wife and a kid, and his life seems like something right out of a modern day "Leave It To Beaver."
Then everything starts to change when he meets a customer named Elizabeth, played by Olivia Wilde, a woman who loves pills of all kinds.
Doug quickly falls for Elizabeth and for a wide variety of his own medications. Eventually the two come up with a plot to kill Elizabeth's husband and split town.
Writer and director Geoff Moore and David Posamentier join the show to talk about the film.
