No Sudden Move (2021)

Get your spooky old-time mask on, everybody: it's the NO SUDDEN MOVE episode. We're talking Soderbergh's 2021 HBO Max crime thriller and all things 1954 Detroit, Black Bottom, carburetors, becoming aware of your position as a historical actor, Bill Duke, Bill & Ted (different Bill), anamorphic lenses, apologizing while hitting your boss in the face, money flowing uphill, and lots more. Really enjoyed this one - check it out! And get rid of your car!
