How to Make a Killing, Midwinter Break and Alpha (Movie Squad Podcast #527)

It’s International Women’s Day this weekend, and you know what that means: Predator franchise marathon! That’s the plan, anyway, for Laura Blundell and Lucy Rutherford, who have commandeered the airwaves for this annual Movie Squad special. They join Brekky host Pam Boland to review two new films: Glen Powell’s murder-comedy How to Make a Killing, and the Lesley Manville/Ciarán Hinds drama Midwinter Break, both in cinemas now. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive review of Julia Ducournau’s Alpha, her personal and provocative follow-up to Palme d’Or winner Titane. It’s playing later in March as part of the Alliance Française French Film Festival. See the full program here! Plus, they catch up on their recent Letterboxd entries, including South Korean thriller The Chaser, Nicole Holofcener’s Lovely and Amazing, and the recent Predator sequel Badlands. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
