The weekly movie review edition of the podcast adds seven titles from the Thanksgiving holiday. Erik Childress checks out the 1980s hi-jinks of trying to obtain a Nintendo (8-Bit Christmas) while Steve Prokopy delves into the new Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car) and the stylings of classic songwriters of old (The Beatles: Get Back) and new (Encanto). The pair debate whether the directorial debut of Halle Berry is worth your time (Bruised) and try to decipher just what anybody sees in Stephen Karam’s adaptation of his own play (The Humans). Finally, they look into the second Ridley Scott film in as many months and, whether or not, that’s a good thing (House of Gucci).
