The year was 1997, and the Spice Girls had conquered the world. This new world, this SPICE WORLD, came in the form of a silly motion picture comedy that critics despised, but which has developed a cult following that lingers to this day. And somehow its the perfect double feature with Aki Kaurismäkis minimalist and eccentric rock n roll comedy LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA. Oh yes. Really.
Welcome back to Critically Acclaimed, where highbrow and lowbrow collide! Every week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review a BAD movie of YOUR choice and pair it with a GREAT movie of THEIR choice, to make an awesome and enlightening double feature. They also review new movies, answer your letters and more!
This Weeks New Reviews: Star Wars: The Last Jedi, The Post, Hostiles, Downsizing, Beyond Skyline, Mollys Game, Phantom Thread, In the Fade, The Christmas Cottage
