The A.V. Club Presents Film Club episodes
- The Hunt and Never Rarely Sometimes AlwaysSince its trailer was released last July, Blumhouse’s The Hunt has drawn the eyes and ire of many on folks in the MAGA crowd—with the President himself weighing in on the matter. The studio subsequently canceled the film’s September release, citing concerns about “timing” in the wake of the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings. Several months later, the Craig Zobel-directed satire is uncanceled and dropping in theaters today. On today’s first episode of Film Club, our critics A.A. Dowd and Katie Rife wade into the controversial waters of The Hunt, but quickly discover it’s not worth the fuss. Plus, a discussion of Eliza Hittman's acclaimed film out of Sundance, Never Rarely Sometimes Always.Visit: https://www.avclub.com/Like: https://www.facebook.com/theavclubFollow: https://twitter.com/theavclubLearn more about your ad choices.

- Onward and First CowFor the better part of two decades—starting with Toy Story in 1995—Pixar seemed like one of the most reliable forces in Hollywood filmmaking. But their latest—Onward, starring Tom Holland and Chris Pratt—is a clear reminder that the beloved animation studio is just as fallible as the rest of the industry. On today’s episode of Film Club, our critics A.A. Dowd and Katie Rife discuss the merits and missteps of the 22nd film from Pixar. Plus, a discussion of Kelly Reichardt's First Cow—a gentle, touching story of two best friends who want to make a living selling buttermilk biscuits.Visit: http://avclub.comLike: http://www.fb.com/theavclubFollow: http://www.twitter.com/theavclubLearn more about your ad choices.
