Episode 323: Prey For Love And Luck

There are eight movies to talk about this week and Erik Cihldress and Steve Prokopy have seen them all. There is love for two films from this year’s Chicago Critics Film Festival including Patton Oswalt catfishing his own son (I Love My Dad) and Dale Dickey looking to kindle an old friendship with Wes Studi (A Love Song). There is a new animated film on Apple+ (Luck) and a documentary about the Father of Claymation (Claydream). Ron Howard turns a story that got the doc treatment last year about the Thailand cave rescue into a feature (Thirteen Lives) and stand-up comic Jo Koy stars in a film based on his life (Easter Sunday). The Predator franchise springs to new life in the 18th century (Prey) and Brad Pitt takes on a locomotive full of assassins (Bullet Train). There’s a lot of love this week but there are some targets as well.   0:00 - Intro 1:03 - I Love My Dad 16:49 – Claydream 32:38 – A Love Song 42:34 – Luck 57:44 – Thirteen Lives 1:15:38 – Easter Sunday 1:34:43 - Prey 1:50:47 – Bullet Train 2:06:26 - Outro This is a public episode.
