Listen Later

Word is that there's a big football game this weekend. In fact, Hollywood is so afraid no one will go to the movies this weekend that they're not putting many new ones in theaters. "Lisa Frankenstein" is sort of a sacrifical lamb. It's directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody and it's about about a teenager and her crush, who happens to be a corpse. Bill Bregoli doesn't watch football anyway, so he checked it out. Neil Rosen and Bill McCuddy saw a french film called "Driving Madeleine" and they were both surprised by how much they liked it. We've also got "Argylle" which is about a reclusive author who writes espionage novels about a secret agent and a global spy syndicate and realizes the plot of the new book she's writing starts to mirror real-world events, in real time.It didn't make a lot of money when it opened last weeekend and Bill Bregoli explains why. Bill McCuddy tells us about "Feud: Capote vs the Swans" which is an anthology series centering on famous feuds, including Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and Truman Capote and the New York elite.For documentary fans we've got "The Greatest Night in Pop" which tells how on January 25th 1985, dozens of the era's most popular musicians gathered in Los Angeles to record a charity single for African famine relief. Setting egos aside, they collaborated on a song that would make history. It's on Netflix, and also on Netflix is the animated tale "Orion and the Dark" which is about a boy with an active imagination faces his fears on an unforgettable journey through the night with his new friend: a giant, smiling creature named Dark.It's got some big names involved.And for you streaming fans there's "Masters of the Air," which is the latest from the people who brought you "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific." And we've also got "Griselda" which stars Sofia Vergara as a woman who creates one of the most ruthless cartels in history. Plus we'll tell you about the new season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and what we thought of the Grammy Awards. Listen in!
