Episode 431: Strange Bedfellows and Food For Thought

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have nine new reviews on this episode. They include documentaries about the tragedy of a Harry Potter stunt double (David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived) and another about a forgotten woman’s sexuality activist (The Disappearance of Shere Hite). There’s a feature about the unsung architect of the March on Washington (Rustin) and another from Taika Waititi about the World Cup team that lost 31-0 (Next Goal Wins). The comedy trio from Saturday Night Live craft their first feature (Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain), Eli Roth crafts a feature out of his Grindhouse trailer (Thanksgiving) and The fuzzy-haired musical creatures are back for their third film (Trolls Band Together). Todd Haynes, Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore team up for a squirmy tale ripped from the tabloids (May December) and may the odds be ever in your favor for a new franchise prequel (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes). 0:00 - Intro David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived 11:42 – The Disappearance of Shere Hite 23:42 - Rustin 36:46 - Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain 47:18 - Next Goal Wins 55:27 - May December 1:10:22 - Trolls Band Together 1:18:27 - Thanksgiving 1:34:29 – The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes 1:51:32 – Preview of Next Week / Outro This is a public episode.
