Do Not Double-Bill "Eddington" and "Life of Chuck". Trust Me.
from Fred Asquith On Film
This week on FoF we’re revelling in the return of Daniel Day-Lewis, including a There Will Be Blood moment in the Anemone trailer, and discuss whether True Detective Season 1 has aged well. Then I dive into two new releases which I double-billed (for better or worse); Eddington and The Life of Chuck. All this and more!
