Episode 317: Broken Couples, Songwriters And A Sea Beast

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy bring you the weekly movie reviews. Seven new films including a pair of music documentaries focused on a pair of Nick Cave albums (This Much I Know To Be True) and one of the most singular songs ever recorded – in many different ways (Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song). A couple goes off on a self-help retreat in the woods in a new horror film (The Summoned) and Claire Denis put another couple played by Juliette Binoche and Vincent Lindon through the ringer when a lusty ex is thrown into the equation (Both Sides of the Blade). Abducted In Plain Sight director Skye Borgman documents another tale of an evil predator and the people who were destroyed by him (Girl in the Picture). The co-director of Moana and Big Hero 6 delivers a Moby Dick-like tale that helps restores one of our duo’s faith in recent animated films (The Sea Beast). Finally all faith is destroyed in the latest Marvel entry as Erik and Steve agree it to be one of the worst, if not THE worst, in their Cinematic Universe (Thor: Love and Thunder).
