Steven Spielberg snuck this film into 2017 at the last possible minute. After hearing so much praise that THE POST was his best film since MUNICH, and could be the perfect antidote to a toxic presidency, expectations were high at ITQ. Let's face it, when it comes to Spielberg, Streep and Hanks expectations are always high. THE POST is a good film, but not much more than that. High-caliber acting all around, but not a lot of that Spielberg magic. Nevertheless, it's worth seeing. Andrew and Phil have an insightful discussion about what makes a film Spielbergian.

James Franco has created a poignant, hilarious comedy about the making of the worst movie ever. His performance anchors the film, and he clearly cares about his character. He has an aptitude for directing comedy that Phil felt was sorely missing in his serious adaptations of Faulkner novels. Andrew also really liked this film, another solid A24 release. Our two hosts debate the bona fides of the central friendship, which is based on real life, but seems unlikely.
