On this week’s “See It or Skip It,” ABC4 critic and celebrity interviewer Patrick Beatty is joined by Rebecca Frost, Richard Bonaduce, and Tracy Mangum to break down the aerial mayhem of “Fight or Flight,” the slasher chaos of “Clown in a Cornfield,” and Kerry Washington’s action-fueled showdown in “Shadow Force.”

We’re also diving into the heartfelt flavor of “Nonna,” the DIY rebellion of “Secret Mall Apartment,” the awkward charm of “Summer of ‘69,” and the return of Natasha Lyonne in “Poker Face” Season 2.

In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and kept it going for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret mall apartment became an incredibly meaningful act for all the participants, at once an act of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art, and a 750 square foot space that sticks it to the man.
