Episode 302: The Unbearable Weight of The Northman

One of the best movies of the year…2021…may just come around to one of the best movies of 2022 on this episode. At least according to one of the Movie Madness critics during the round of seven reviews on this episode. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy do indeed agree on Celine Sciamma’s tale of childhood grief (Petite Maman). The kids in that movie certainly have it better than the documentary of a ‘90s clothing giant (White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch) and even they may have it better than the one at the center of a Lena Headey thriller (9 Bullets). Erik looks at the latest from DisneyNature (Polar Bear) while Steve handles the animated animals looking to pull off a heist (The Bad Guys). The pair have a lot to say about the wannabe-meta look at Nicolas Cage’s career (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) and then they get to the latest from Robert Eggers, the director of The Witch and The Lighthouse (The Northman.)
