Widows ft. Ayo Edebiri & Akilah Hughes

This week, we are joined by comedians Akilah Hughes and Ayo Edebiri to discuss the newly released heist movie, Widows, directed by Steve McQueen and starring Viola Davis. We talk about the heist movie genre, the audience vs critical response to this film, and potential Oscar nominations. We also get into Viola Davis's history of being shafted out of awards, Daniel Kaluuya's acting chops, how much screen time was given to the men in Widows, and the importance of Chicago as the backdrop to the film.
