In this episode of Film Folly, Amanda talks about the film The Woman King starring Viola Davis, the buzz in Hollywood over a new Lord of the Rings movie in production, Steven Yeun joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Marvel film Thunderbolts, and the successful HBO show Succession is ending after its fourth season. Hmmm…..I’m wondering if that has anything to do with HBO Max merging with Discovery Plus?
