- TV & Film
This week, the new(ish) stuff is The Fall Guy, Challengers, Millers Girl, and Unfrosted. Of course we have so much more, including Baby Driver, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and a little bit of social commentary around Brittney Griner and the WNBA!
We kick it off with The Fall Guy, which Lauren watched this week. Kevin is very excited to hear about since he won't get to it in theaters. Lauren enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. Kevin however, is still chomping at the bit.
Next up, Kevin takes us back to 2017 with Baby Driver, a film he has tried to catch for years and has somehow always missed! Now that it's on Netflix, he finally jumped in and watched and he thoroughly enjoyed it!
We flip it back over to Lauren to discuss another new theatrical release, Challengers. It's a twisted sports/love story that may not be quite as steamy as the trailers would lead you to believe. Lauren wasn't as enamored with it as everyone else seems to be, but her description of Zendaya's character keeps Kevin interested in seeing it when it's available to stream.
Sticking with steamy-adjacent dramas, Kevin talks about the early 2024 film, Millers Girl. It bombed at the box office and hasn't been well reviewed in general, but Kevin found much of the story's moral ambiguity quite interesting and he definitely liked it more than the critics.
Lauren keeps it psychological by talking about The Killing of a Sacred Deer. It stars Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan, and Nicole Kidman. It's a bit of a throwback now (2017, like Baby Driver) but it works well and definitely shows Barry Keoghan's ability.
In an effort to lighten the mood, Kevin quickly reviews Unfrosted, on Netflix. It is the satirical telling of the origin of the Pop Tart and it's... underwhelming. In a lot of ways it's over the top, if not downright stupid. you'd think a legen like Jerry Seinfeld would be able to reign this one in just a little bit...
Before closing out the show, Lauren discusses the Robin Roberts interview of Brittney Griner interview. It's a detailed look into her harrowing ordeal. It also leads to a brief discussion on the inequality in women's sports in comparison to men's.
