Steve Prokopy joins Erik Childress to review six new movies; many of which are worth your attention. Steve handles a new teenage friendship from actress-turned-director Charlotte LeBon (Falcon Lake) and the origin story of LeBron James (Shooting Stars). Another true story gets a riveting treatment from director Tina Satter and star Sydney Sweeney (Reality) while Rob Savage uses Stephen King to try and shock scare us again (The Boogeyman). Celine Song delivers one of the more masterful big screen debuts with a “one that got away” tale (Past Lives) that could make a perfect companion piece to one of the most manically-alive animated films you have ever experienced (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).
