Episode 424: Flesh, Fall, Freelance and Freddy’s

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy close out October with seven reviews for you. Steve catches up on a film from Sundance (The Persian Version) while both look at the true story of a Bible thumper on the search for a lost civilization (The Mission). Emily Blunt and Chris Evans are on the selling side of the opioid crisis (Pain Hustlers) and Heather Graham is given the H.P. Lovecraft treatment (Suitable Flesh). The duo look at this year’s Palme d’Or winner (Anatomy of a Fall) as well as how this John Cena/Alison Brie action/comedy made it into theaters (Freelance). Finally, while it plays in both theaters and on the Peacock, a horror video game becomes a movie (Five Nights At Freddy’s) though that’s debatable. 0:00 – Intro 1:25 – The Persian Version 8:27 – The Mission 20:47 - Pain Hustlers 30:05 - Suitable Flesh 39:47 - Anatomy of a Fall 56:00 - Freelance 1:11:42 - Five Nights At Freddy's 1:23:45 – Preview of Next Week / Outro This is a public episode.
