Episode 330: Don’t Worry, It Will All Be Over Soon
Another loaded week has Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy looking at nine new movies. They include another guy-joins-shadowy-government-agency film (Section 8) and a tale of another famous (in Canada) bank robber tale with Josh Duhamel (Bandit). The star of The Babadook takes on another rocky tale of motherhood (The Justice of Bunny King), Adelaide Clemens must come to terms with having her first child and the two men vying for her affection (The Swearing Jar) and Lena Dunham adapts the story of a 14 year-old in the 13th century trying to fend off her own suitors (Catherine Called Birdy). Two icons are also chronicled by Reginald Hudlin in a documentary about the recently departed Mr. Poitier (Sidney) and Ana De Armas takes on the role of Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s controversial adaptation (Blonde). Finally, Allison Janney gets a chance to be an action hero on Netflix (Lou) and Florence Pugh begins to wake up in a patriarchal society in Olivia Wilde’s sophomore directorial effort (Don’t Worry Darling).
