Episode 252: What Is Influencer Cinema Worth?
Getting you ten movie reviews a week is becoming a standard here on the show. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy deliver again with Shea Whigham as a social worker trying to protect single mother Olivia Munn (The Gateway) and Guy Pierce as a P.I. in the future looking for a missing person in a city of androids (Zone 414). Three neighborhoods you don’t want to move into include Gracie Gillam’s host from hell (Superhost), Taryn Manning’s super racist white lady (Karen) and Pat Healy’s unhinged father in a lockdown crisis (We Need To Do Something). “Influencer Cinema” gets in their hits this week with Victoria Justice dying with some unfinished personal business (Afterlife of the Party), one pop singer, Matsumi, discovering her destiny (Yakuza Princess) and another, Camila Cabello, making her debut in the jukebox musical version of a classic story (Cinderella). Finally they have Michael Keaton in the true story of the creation of the 9/11 compensation fund (Worth) and Steve gets to put in his two cents on Marvel’s latest (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings)
