Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 224 - Gifted

The time has come for Ray to present his season finale recommendation on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! For this momentous occasion, Ray has chosen a movie that will tug on Rob's heartstrings by hitting close to home, the 2017 family drama GIFTED. Directed by Marc Webb (500 DAYS OF SUMMER, THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN), GIFTED follows the story of Mary (Played by the amazing McKenna Grace), a seven-year-old math savant who is being raised by her Uncle Frank after her mother's tragic suicide. When his estranged mother Evelyn, Mary's Grandmother, learns of her gifts, she decides that Frank is unfit to be Mary's guardian and seeks full custody of her. Buttressed by performances by Chris Evans (AVENGERS: ENDGAME, SNOWPIERCER), Jenny Slate (MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON, OBVIOUS CHILD) and Octavia Spencer (FRUITVALE STATION, HIDDEN FIGURES), GIFTED examines the difficulties of growing up a genius, from the social-emotional hurdles to the question of what you owe the world with your gifts. Join Ray and Rob on this finale episode to see if the subject matter hits too close to home for Rob to enjoy, or if McKenna Grace's magnetic performance is enough to steal his heart!
