Episode 609: If It Bleeds, We Can Milk It

Eight reviews are on the docket this week with Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. They include a film about a recording of a photographer telling us about their day (Peter Hujar’s Day). Steve covers many of the elements with a documentary about one of the biggest franchises ever (Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films) and the hunts for millions in the tundra (Ice Fall). Sydney Sweeney becomes one of the most successful female boxers ever (Christy) and Russell Crowe is on trial for being Hitler’s second-in-command (Nuremberg). A non-binary teenager is kicked out of their home (I Wish You All The Best). Jennifer Lawrence goes through hell after having a baby with Robert Pattinson (Die, My Love) and the antagonist becomes the protagonist in the continuing adventures of a 40+-year franchise – or two (Predator: Badlands).4:46 - Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films13:45 - Peter Hujar’s Day23:08 - Ice Fall30:21 - Christy41:37 - I Wish You All the Best51:10 - Nuremberg1:06:52 - Die, My Love1:21:02 - Predator: BadlandsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTBe sure to check outErik’s Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics’ Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik’s Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.
