Both films released in UK and Irish cinemas on Boxing Day, 26th December. First film up for review is Takia Waititi's Next Goal Wins starring Michael Fassbender. Inspired by the 2014 Documentary of the same name and the true story of the American Samoan national football team. In 2001 the team found themselves destroyed thanks to a 31-0 defeat from Australia in a world cup qualifier. Absolutely deflated by the score, the team want to do one thing, score a goal. They look to Thomas Rongen (Fassbender) a football coach not having the best of times in Major League Soccer as the man to deliver what they want...A goal!

The second and final film for this episode is Michael Mann's Ferrari starring Adam Driver as our titular character Enzo Ferrari the former Formula One driver turned car company he built over a ten year period with his wife Lara (Penelope Cruz). It's 1957, not all is well with , bankruptcy looming over them, and a marriage falling apart like the walls of Jericho. Enzo throws everything on the line with hope the iconic Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy to save the company.

It's that time of the week again for another episode of The Chronicle, the official film podcast for The Peoples Movies. In Episode 017, I will review the horror film "Cobweb" from Lionsgate Films. The film stars Woody Norman (known for "C'Mon, C'Mon," where he appeared alongside Joaquin Phoenix) as Peter, a quiet boy who begins hearing knocking sounds followed by a girl's voice speaking to him. She reveals her identity and expresses a desire to be Peter's friend. Peter, who has no friends and is being bullied at school, is advised by the girl not to heed his parents' words (played by Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr), who claim that everything is a product of his imagination. Are Peter's parents concealing a dark family secret? Who or what is Peter really communicating with?

Denzel Washington reprises his role once again as our vigilante maestro, Robert McColl. After a near-death experience in Italy, Robert finds himself recovering in the small, picturesque town of Altomonte in Campania. He quickly grows fond of the community spirit there. However, how long will that peace last as the local mafia, The Camorra, terrorizes the population? Robert must once again seek justice for the oppressed before he can retire.
