Episode 336: Friends, Trauma and Weird Al

The weekly movie reviews hit the dozen mark again with Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. They remind you of this year’s Sundance entry from indie sci-fi masters Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Something In The Dirt). Eva Green is either going nuts or has a very bad nanny (Nocebo) and Andrea Riseborough stars in a film that may get itself compared to Rocky Horror (Please Baby Please). The pair wade through a couple of thrillers that reset themselves including a noir wannabe (The Minute You Wake Up Dead) and Mel Gibson in a Phone Booth situation in a radio station (On The Line). Steve has words for James Gray’s new film (Armageddon Time) and the duo have lovely words for a documentary about the Mars Rover mission (Good Night Oppy). Funny women headline a pair of comedies including Toni Collette & Anna Faris in a Greedy-esque tale of will hunting (The Estate) and Jillian Bell & Natalie Morales star in a tale about friendship, regret and aliens (I’m Totally Fine). Millie Bobbie Brown returns as the sister of the famous detective (Enola Holmes 2) and Jennifer Lawrence stars with Brian Tyree Henry in a tale of trauma and friendship (Causeway). Finally, the internet finally got the biopic they wanted with Daniel Radcliffe starring as the world’s renown song parodist (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story).
