Last Night in Soho
from The Director's Chair Network Hosted by Ryan Rebalkin
In this penultimate episode of the Director's Chair Network's "All the Right Moves" limited series, host Andy and guest Tony from Hack the Movies dissect Edgar Wright's psychological thriller *Last Night in Soho* as a bold stylistic departure from his Cornetto Trilogy and *Scott Pilgrim vs. the World*, praising its meticulous mirror swaps, dream-reality editing, and 1960s Bond-girl aesthetic while critiquing plot holes in Eloise's "Shining"-like psychic visions, the post-Me Too vilification of men that abruptly flips to reveal the landlady as a vengeful killer, and co-writer Kristy Wilson-Cairns' influence shifting away from Simon Pegg's character-driven humor; they detour into ranking Wright's filmography (*Shaun of the Dead* reigns supreme for its horror-comedy balance), *Spaced* Easter eggs like male telepathy and Darth Maul red lighting, and hype for the upcoming *The Running Man* remake co-written with Michael Bacall.
