• YouTube: I recently came across this clever 12-minute edit of the 2015 movie “Fourth Man Out,” which follows a car mechanic in a small, working class town who comes out of the closet to his unsuspecting, blue-collar best friends. I really found the quick pace of this edit captures the spirit of the film in a wonderful way. Full movie currently available for free on Pluto.
