from The Movies · host Daniel Berrios

Please rate and review The Movies on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Audible!---Today marks a first on the podcast. Last year, I reviewed Gerard Johnstone's horror movie M3GAN (see Season 2, Episode 4) but after a recent rewatch with my wife, I found I have more to say about the PG-13 killer doll flick.I'm surprised by how much of the movie works as a cautionary tale for parents, highlighting certain anxieties of parenthood and the absolute wrong ways of handling them.So to my fellow tiny-human-wranglers, pull up a chair! Grab your sippy cup of apple juice with a handful of day-old Goldfish and let's hash out some deep-ridden insecurities!---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!Cinema Therapy's YouTube"Why A.I.
