Movie Squad RTRFM

Class is in session for the latest instalment of the Movie Squad podcast!

This week, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo bring Breakfast host Pamela Boland two reviews of brand new cinema releases, while still finding time to debate the heights of prospective James Bonds and rank the best Ryans.

First up, Tristan reviews Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's new action comedy The Fall Guy, based on the '80s TV show of the same name. The film features a post-Barbie Gosling as a stuntman looking for a missing movie star.

Then, Simon and Tristan both share their thoughts on the Oscar-nominated German drama The Teachers' Lounge, a nerve-jangling whodunnit set inside a pressure-cooker of a school.

Both films are now showing in Australian cinemas.

Stay tuned for an extended 'Salute to Stunts' on the podcast!

Tristan and Simon also mention the Trash Classics screening of [Clue](https://lunapalace.com.au/m/select-film+6123+trash-classics-season-6-clue-1985) this Friday 26 April and premiere of the [Moorditj Mag](https://rtrfm.com.au/podcasts/moorditj-mag-podcast/)-associated documentary [Genocide in the Wildflower State](https://genocidewildflowerstate.org.au/) on Sunday 28 April, both at Luna Cinemas Leederville.

Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen join Breakfast host Pamela Boland to serve up another sparkling edition of movie chat for this episode of the Movie Squad podcast!

Then Cecilia opens up the swear jar for the new British comedy Wicked Little Letters which stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley in a bizarre true story about a blight of anonymous letters with foul language directed at residents of a sleepy town, and the woman who is unfairly charged with the crime.

And finally for a bonus review that is exclusive to the podcast, Tristan says his prayers and delves into the new horror movie Immaculate starring and produced by Sydney Sweeney as a young nun in Italy who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant - is it a miracle or something more sinister?
