This week, I'm joined by Raul Navedo from Minorities Report to review what might be the first great film of 2021, Judas and the Black Messiah. We discuss why the film is so powerful, which performances are our favorites, and what we think about some of the criticisms the film has been receiving. In our 0.2 Section, we talk about two recent releases, one that's a gem, and the other...that isn't.
