Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan took a bit of a break but came back with a ton of movies to talk about. We save Widows as our main review because we know something special when we see it. Chris tells us about his suffering with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. He's not the biggest fan of Johnny Depp, for obvious reasons. Chris also talks about the highly anticipated Creed 2. Can it possibly live up to the standards of Ryan Coogler's instant classic? Is there too much of the Rocky story in this film? Dylan talks about the new Netflix documentary, Shirkers. Can a well edited and directed film redeem its sense of missing the point of the narrative? Then Chris and Dylan talk about the new Bad Robot release, Overlord. Is this the right time to make a "both sides" narrative about Nazi's? Can it be more than its influences? They also get around to talking about the new Netflix film, this time from the Coen brothers, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Does the anthology format serve the type of story they're telling? Which story is the best of the bunch? Do they need to keep telling the same kind of story? Finally, they get around to talking about the new Steve McQueen film, Widows. Dylan and Chris ponder the Gillian Flynn contributions to the film and how it adds to concept of what we know a Steve McQueen film usually is. Come for the thoughtful conversation, stay for two white people to compare a film about race and politics to The Wire.
