”John Wick: Chapter 4” and ”Inside.”

"John Wick: Chapter 4" is a very lengthy chapter indeed, with a running time of 2 hours, 49 minutes. HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano agree during this podcast episode that it's a lot to watch, but it moves in such a relentlessly fast way that it's usually fun to watch Keanu Reeves as he fights bad guys at scenic locales around the world. Although Mike ultimately found it all rather tiresome, even he thought some of the logic-defying sequences are exciting. Marie and Mike also talk about a film with a totally different premise. "Inside" finds Willem Dafoe as an art thief who finds himself trapped inside a luxury apartment. He has no place to run and no way to get out. Marie loved this film while Mike, ever the curmudgeon on behalf of narrative logic, had quibbles that left him liking the film less as it went along. Our critics are happy to share their disagreement with you.
