In this episode of Last Night I Watched…, Ashley dives into the 2017 drama Gifted, starring Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, and Octavia Spencer. This heartwarming (and heartbreaking) film follows a single man raising his child prodigy niece while battling family tensions, custody battles, and the weight of doing what’s "best" for a brilliant child.

Ashley explores the film’s emotional depth, standout performances, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding gifted education. Plus, a discussion on the power of found family, and—of course—whether this one left him in tears. Spoiler: Probably.
