July 19, 2021 "Black Widow," "Space Jam: A New Legacy," "No Sudden Move," "Pig," "The Tomorrow War"
OK! Grierson is back from Cannes! We talk about the film festival, but mostly, we get caught up on the movies we missed. Do you all still use the timestamps? Because we think we might get rid of them! But here are the movies: Marvel's "Black Widow" LeBron James in "Space Jam: A New Legacy" Steven Soderbergh's "No Sudden Move" Nicolas Cage in "Pig" And Chris Pratt's alien movie "The Tomorrow War" Is it OK that we didn't do the timestamps? Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].
