Episode 383: X Doesn’t Always Hit The Spot

Steve Prokopy returns to review ten new films with Erik Childress including documentaries on an 18-time MLB all-star (It Ain’t Over) and an infamous Playboy playmate (Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me). Penelope Cruz speaks Italian (L’Immensita) and Kenya Barris loses everything in translation for a remake (White Men Can’t Jump). Steve looks at the co-winner of the Jury Prize at last year’s Cannes (The Eight Mountains) and they go back to the mountains to check out the directorial debut of Joe LoTruglio (Outpost). A sexual awakening and religion class again (The Starling Girl) while a dominatrix tries to get the most out of her client (Sanctuary). Paul Schrader returns with a diary and dark past (Master Gardener) and the whole gang returns for apparently now the pre-penultimate chapter of one of the most successful franchises of all-time. Money-wise at least (Fast X). 0:00 - Intro 6:54 - It Ain't Over  16:20 - Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me 30:15 - L'Immensita  34:54 - White Men Can't Jump 46:02 – The Eight Mountains 51:59 - Outpost 1:01:23 - The Starling Girl  1:10:49 - Sanctuary  1:23:57 - Master Gardener  1:32:16 - Fast X 1:55:55 - Outro This is a public episode.
