Ep. 531: A Simple Favor (2018)

Hello friends, as the year winds down and we get into the holiday season, we find a time to reminisce. And, thinking back, we decided to evaluate some movies from 2018 to see if they're worth re-appraisal—either good or bad. Five years is a good amount of time for a movie to begin re-entering conversations. We start this marathon off this week with the Paul Feig suspense mystery that is filled with twists and turns, A Simple Favor. Does the movie work? How has it aged in the past few years? Should Blake Lively have Ryan Reynolds career? We discuss all of this and more on this episode; join us now!
