Episode 98: - Les Miserables (2019) & The Nice Guys

Tempers teem in the impoverished city of Montfermeil in 'Les Misérables', a new film with a confusing name from first-time French director Ladj Ly. Available on Amazon Prime, Les Misérables tells the story of Corporal Ruiz, a newly-transferred police officer who's first day in Paris simmers with tension until overboiling in an explosive third act. Also, Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe attempt to delight in Shane Black's 2016 comedy-caper 'The Nice Guys', a funny, but ultimately uninspired tale of two mismatched private-eyes that are set to solve a murder in the heart of 1977's Los Angeles. Finally, CBS resurrects Sunday Movie Night, Amazon begins Watch Parties on Twitch, and Cinemark lays off nearly 18 thousand employees in the wake of COVID-19.
