187. Green Book, Alita Battle Angel & If Beale Street Could Talk

On this belated edition of Film Chat we review what we are positive will be the most talked about film of the year. I am of course referring to the groundbreaking Alita: Battle Angel.Danny also found time to review Green Book which he found to be an overly simplistic, somewhat offensive look at racism in the '60s and also didn't feature any cyborgs or characters with massive eyes.We also reviewed Barry Jenkins follow up to Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk which they basically thought was a stone-cold masterpiece...but would it have killed Jenkins to have CGi-ed everyone's eyes so they were distractingly big. I'm not saying it was a mistake but the eyes are categorically not big.PLUS we balk at a proposed David Bowie film starring professional Zac Goldsmith lookalike Johnny Flynn, look forward to a new rom-com from Billy Eichner and try and get our heads around Liam Neeson's recent troubling confession.
