This week, Mary Lucia talks about a must-watch film for any fan of Anthony Bourdain: Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain from filmmaker Morgan Neville.

"It's heartbreaking," Mary says. "It's going to leave you with a lot of questions."

There is a lot of speculation into Bourdain's own psychology and challenges. Overall, Mary says it may be a film about a man, who, "perhaps was more introverted than he thought, thrust into this lifestyle." Watch more of what Mary has to say in the video above.

Roadrunner is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Vudu, YouTube, Google Play and more.
