🎬 This week on The Reel Study, our Women’s History Month celebration continues with a special Sarah Polley spotlight featuring Go and Women Talking. While Go showcases Polley in one of her standout early screen performances, Women Talking highlights her powerful voice behind the camera as a writer and director, giving us a unique look at her evolution as an artist across two very different films.

From the fast-paced chaos and dark humor of a late-’90s ensemble crime comedy to the intimate, thought-provoking conversations of a deeply moving modern drama, this week’s pairing offers plenty to unpack about performance, perspective, and storytelling.

Before the main discussion, catch up on The Reel News as the panel covers this week’s biggest movie headlines, including the Spaceballs sequel setting a 2027 release date, new trailers for Supergirl, A24's Backrooms, and Apple TV's Cape Fear, The Voice of Hind Rajab heading to Hulu, and Speed Racer returning with a 4K Steelbook release and April theatrical screenings.

Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first‑time watches. Whether it’s a brand‑new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on. This week, JeannineDaBean shares her spoiler-free review of The Drama.
