Ep 185: May December; Straight From the Headlines
It can be difficult to discuss a film with such volatile subject matter, but May December was so thought-provoking that we knew we wanted to talk about it. Rather than retell the story that inspired the movie, May December examines the aftermath of a “scandal” (read: felony) and encourages us to...

-
Ep 178: Heat; Two Sides of the Same Coin
Does anyone else feel like there’s been a 90’s movie trend lately? We decided to hop on board to revisit the classic crime drama, Heat. Well, “revisit” is relative, because *someone* on our team had never seen an Al Pacino film before! No rewriters corner needed this week as we talk Michael…

Episode 157: Wakanda Forever; Mo’ Vibranium, Mo’ Problems
It’s been a while since a Marvel release of this magnitude. Two years ago, director Ryan Coogler had the unenviable job of rewriting Wakanda Forever after the sudden and tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman, and we weren’t sure if we would ever get to see this film come to life. Our favorite Marvel...
