Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are back on the movie review beat with nine new titles this week. On the Disney Plus front Steve looks at a new doc on an animated icon (Mickey: The Story of a Mouse) and Erik checks out a sequel 15 years in the making (Disenchanted). Russell Crowe directs a film not about poker (Poker Face) and Frank Grillo stars in a film that is barely about a car (Lamborghini: The Man Behind The Legend). Steve looks at the new pandemic-era film from Andrew Bujalski (There There) and the pair have a lot to say about Jonah Hill’s documentary about his therapist (Stutz). Florence Pugh tries to solve the mystery of a girl who doesn’t want to eat (The Wonder) and Ralph Fiennes serves a full course of terror to a group of foodies (The Menu). Finally, Erik and Steve conclude with a vehement disagreement over the merits of a film detailing the uncovering of Harvey Weinstein’s crimes (She Said).
