This week, Hope and Madelyn are discussing THE FATHER (2020), directed by Florian Zeller and adapted from Zeller's play by Christopher Hampton. This film is a heartbreaking masterclass in acting led by Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman. (We're pretty obsessed with her!!) So worth the watch, especially for the stunning and clever set design. It's a little bit horror and a little bit tragedy but overall a contender for this year's Oscars. This movie deals with themes of aging, memory loss, elder abuse, and grief so, please be advised before watching.

The Father is available to rent on Amazon Prime Video and wherever you rent your films.

Run to go watch this, then come listen to the amazing things we have to say!

This week, Hope and Madelyn are talking THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 (2020), written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. This episode is basically a love letter to Eddie Redmayne, but we totally talk about the movie, too! Aaron Sorkin's writing is phenomenal, and this important historic moment is captured so well. Mostly worthy of Oscars buzz, but we're hoping it won't win (sorry not sorry!).
