Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have seven films for you to hear about this week. Two you heard about before when June Squibb went into action mode on a phishing scam at Sundance (Thelma) and Rachel Sennott nannies a teenage girl (I Used To Be Funny). Still funny are the queer comedians featured in a new Netflix doc (Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution). Less funny is seeing Abbie Cornish in a twisty con game (Detained). Maybe a but funnier is Jessica Alba as a ”skilled special forces commando” (Trigger Warning) and certainly less funny is watching Russell Crowe in a second possession film in two years from the son of the star Jason Miller (The Exorcism). Finally Jeff Nichols puts Tom Hardy and Austin Butler on motorcycles and Jodie Comer tells us all about it. (The Bikeriders).
