Calle Málaga, The Drama and The Miniature Wife

🎬 Tonight on Celluloid Dreams! 🍿 Airs Wednesday | 7:30 PM | 2SER 107.3 ✨ New Releases: Evan reviews Calle Málaga, the latest film from acclaimed Moroccan director Maryam Touzani, whose previous work The Blue Caftan became the highest-grossing Moroccan film internationally. Starring Spanish screen legend Carmen Maura, the film follows an elderly woman living alone in Tangier who fights to stay in her beloved home when her daughter arrives from Madrid to sell it — and along the way, unexpectedly rediscovers love. In cinemas April 23. Gaby reviews The Drama, the new film from Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli, whose Dream Scenario starring Nicolas Cage was a breakout hit. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson star as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is upended by a shocking revelation in the week before their wedding. Dark, funny, and deliberately uncomfortable — but does Borgli pull it off, or does the drama overwhelm the comedy? 📺 Stream It or Leave It: The Miniature Wife The team turns to Stan for The Miniature Wife, the new series starring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen. When a scientist accidentally shrinks his wife down to six inches tall, the couple's already imbalanced relationship is forced into sharp and very literal relief. Think The War of the Roses meets Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The team work hard to offload as many shrinking puns as they can and start by asking…’Why wasn’t this just a mini series’. 📻 Tune in at 7:30 PM on 2SER 107.3 for new releases, streaming verdicts and more.
