Spoiler Free The Boy and the Heron Review & Spoiler Free Leave the World Behind Review

This weekend’s box office and streaming slate featured a number of intriguing options for reviews but none that distinguished themselves as the clear frontrunner among the crowd. Our solution? A Double Review! In this episode, we took on a spoiler-free The Boy and the Heron review and a spoiler-free Leave the World Behind review to cover as many bases as possible before awards season takes over the film discourse. Both The Boy and the Heron and Leave the World Behind are fascinating films from filmmakers equally as fascinating. After all, legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki came out of retirement after 10 years to bring The Boy and the Heron to life. And visionary show creator Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot, Homecoming) takes on a feature length film for the first time since 2014, this time with an all-star cast (Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, etc.) in tow.
