A Less-Than-Best Hotel, Horrible Robots, and Cult Members on the Loose

In this week's Movie Date podcast, Rafer and Kristen review "The Second Best Marigold Hotel" and "Chappie."  "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" continues the story of a retirement community in India made up of expats played by the UK's acting elite (Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, and Judi Dench, among others). This time, the man who oversees the community (Dev Patel) attempts to expand into additional properties, but is thwarted by undercover inspectors and underhanded relatives. "Chappie" is directed by Neill Blomkamp, of "District 9" fame, and takes place in the near future, when a mechanized police force patrols the streets. One of the decommissioned robots gets taken home by an engineer (again, Dev Patel) and reprogrammed with artificial intelligence. But things go awry when the artificially intelligent robot gets kidnapped by violent weapons-wielding gangsters. For this week's Sweatpants pick, Rafer and Kristen discuss Tina Fey's new Netflix series, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," which centers on a former cult member (Ellie Kemper), who attempts to adjust to modern New York life after living for 15 years in an underground bunker.
