Red Sparrow

In episode twenty-three of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about the Jennifer Lawrence sexual espionage-cum-state sanctioned humiliation vehicle RED SPARROW, and whether all the folks involved were able to pull off the Soviet SHOWGIRLS lurking in the shadows of its black heart. They also touch on some American actress-led action thrillers of the 1990s as well as the results of the 90th Academy Awards. Ben celebrates the historical importance of recognizing a “woman’s weepie” as Best Picture, Daniel finds THE NET to be a highly prescient work of popcorn and pizza entertainment, and Brandon can’t watch THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS without shedding a tear or two for Jodie Foster.
