Episode 281: 2022 Begins With A January Movie

Movie Madness begins 2022 with its weekly review show and a few holdovers from 2021 that are only beginning to open wider. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy catch up on the latest collaboration from Pedro Almodovar and Penelope Cruz (Parallel Mothers), George Clooney directs Ben Affleck in a coming-of-age memoir (The Tender Bar) and Asghar Farhadi pushes everyone into another moral conundrum (A Hero). There is also a cat-and-mouse game between a blind girl and a group of thieves not called Wait Until Dark (See For Me). But as it is January there are also movies that belong in January such as Michael Jai White not playing John Matrix (The Commando) and another team of female special agents that may want to consider removing the word special (The 355). 0:00 - Intro 2:03 - The Commando 9:16 – See For Me 21:32 – Parallel Mothers 28:34 – The Tender Bar 45:26 – A Hero 58:09 – The 355 1:16:39 - Outro This is a public episode.
