"The Guilty" Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

For our second podcast review this week, Dan Bayer, Sara Clements, Will Mavity & Zoe Rose Bryant joins me to discuss the American remake of the 2018 Danish film "The Guilty," also titled "The Guilty" starring Jake Gyllenhaal. With a script by "True Detective" writer Nic Pizzolatto and Jake re-teaming with "Southpaw" director Antoine Fuqua, the collaboration gives us a taut thriller, confined to a single location for the entire runtime. How did we feel it compared to the original? What did we think of Jake's performance? Tune in below to hear our thoughts, enjoy and be sure to check out the film streaming on Netflix this weekend.

Interview With "The Eyes Of Tammy Faye" Actress, Cherry Jones Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

Cherry Jones is one of the most distinguished actresses working today. A Tony and Emmy Award winner, she's graced the screen, stage, and our television sets with brilliant performances over her entire career. Her latest role is in "The Eyes Of Tammy Faye," where she plays Tammy's mother, Rachel. A religiously devoted woman, she has to deal with backlash within her community due to being divorced, making for a complex character to portray on screen and one with whom Cherry can relate in more ways than one. Cherry was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her role, her thoughts on the real-life Tammy Faye and her husband Jim Bakker, working with Jessica Chastain, and more! Click below to listen, and be sure to check out the film now playing in theaters from Searchlight Pictures. Enjoy!
