Ep.290-Cherry, Kid 90, The Father Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Ron, Steve, and John are back with another chat about some brand new films. For starters, they look at Tom Holland and the Russo Brothers’s first collaboration outside the MCU, Cherry; then they take on Soleil Moon Frye’s documentary about growing up famous (constructed from her personal home videos); and finally they’re all knocked flat by the searing new psychological drama The Father, starring Anthony Hopkins in one of his most emotionally affecting performances. It’s a lot! So let’s get started.

Ron, Steve, and John are here with thoughts on two brand new movies you can watch today! They couldn’t be more different: the propulsive and engrossing tale of Black Panther Fred Hampton’s final days, Judas and the Black Messiah; and the silly, lumpy, and lighter-than-air buddy comedy, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. Listen in to find out which one features Kristen Wiig with helmet hair.
