Judas and the Black Messiah walk through Nomadland on the way to the Trial of the Chicago 7 while listening to The Sound of Metal and reading the News of the World - Home Theater #4

Whee, that was a long title. Welcome to the latest edition of the Renegade Home Theater, where we discuss not one, not two, but five modern classic movies! This is our award-worthy episode, with Chloe Zhao's Nomadland, Shaka King's Judas and the Black Messiah, Aaron Sorkin's Trial of the Chicago 7, Paul Greengrass' News of the World, and Darius Marder's The Sound of Metal all taking center stage for this installment of our movie review podcast! All of these films are great in one aspect or another, and even with their flaws, they're all made with passion and artistry, and that's more than we can say for a lot of films. Enjoy the episode! Quick note: a new interview featuring Bob Wells, a real-life nomad who was featured in Nomadland, has been posted at Vulture which adds more details about a scene he improvised which detailed his son's tragic death. We recorded our episode prior to the release of the interview, so we apologize for any confusion as we discuss the scene in our podcast. Our hearts go out to Wells and his family as they continue to grieve and heal.
