Flick Pick is a podcast about movies. In today's episode, Andrew Green reviews Lizzie, a 2018 film about Lizzie Borden. Played here by Chloë Sevigny, Lizzie Borden was at the center of a real-life and sensational murder trial in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892. Young Lizzie was accused of murdering her father and stepmother in a bid to get her father's large estate. Kristen Stewart co-stars as Bridget Sullivan, a maid in the Borden household who was also implicated in the murders.

Most accounts of the Lizzie Borden story conclude that she was guilty of the crimes. This movie does the same. Andrew will describe other takes the movie has on the Borden story. Is it any good? Scroll down and click the Play button to find out what our host thinks.

Flick Pick is a podcast about movies. In today's episode, Jacob Holmes and Andrew Green talk about the new movies opening this week in Benton Harbor. After last week's record-breaking release of Avengers: Endgame, things are getting back to normal at the cinema. We've got three new releases this week coming to Benton Harbor.

First up is Long Shot, a comedy starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen. He's a trouble making political writer, and she's a diplomat running for president. Will these two crazy kids be able to make their romance work? Jacob is intrigued.

Also opening this week is The Intruder, thriller starring Dennis Quaid. He's a psycho who stalks and torments a couple who have bought his old house. The couple is played by Michael Ealy and Meagan Good. Andrew will be there, but he doesn't exactly have high expectations.

Finally, we have Ugly Dolls, an animated movie for the kids. It features voice work by Janelle Monáe, Robert Rodriguez, Emma Roberts, Gabriel Iglesias, Kelly Clarkson. It looks like it exists. Of that we are certain.

Jacob will also give us his thoughts on Avengers: Endgame, while Andrew will talk about Shazam! Scroll down and click the Play button to listen to this exciting edition of Flick Pick.
