Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy cover another dozen films for you this week. Or at least 11 films and one powerful docuseries they revisit from Sundance (Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields). The films include a pair of crime capers (One Day as a Lion, The Innocent), an action film with one of the John Wick henchmen (The Fist of the Condor) and a documentary about the Child’s Play franchise (Living With Chucky). There is also a bizarro Cast Away Lifetime-esque romance (One True Loves), a bizarre comedy featuring Owen Wilson not as Bob Ross (Paint) and another faith-based film where Jesus better take the wheel from Dennis Quaid (On a Wing and a Prayer). There are also films with real-world implications including the plight of young immigrants (Tori and Lokita) and eco-terrorists on a mission to make their world better (How To Blow Up A Pipeline). Finally, Steve weighs in on the blockbuster of the moment (The Super Mario Bros. Movie) and they both appreciate the legacy of Michael Jordan through the eyes of Nike and Ben Affleck (Air).
