On this week's episode of Kickin' & Streamin' Podcast. Graham and Jocelyn discuss\\xa0 Amazon Prime original movie Troop Zero, starring Viola Davis, Jim Gaffigan, McKenna Grace, Allison Janney. Graham began by telling Jocelyn about his experience at Podfest; which took place this past weekend in Orlando, Florida. The two co hosts then began discussing the Prime original movie, and Graham begins by asking Jocelyn about her thoughts on it. Jocelyn says she enjoyed the movie thoroughly and describes it as a different way of telling the "underdog story." Jocelyn then, proceeded to give a magnificently accurate synopsis of Troop Zero, and Graham notated he also enjoyed the movie, and he was at some point moved to tears while watching it. Graham also thinks everyone should be proud of all the children who acted in the movie. Graham and Jocelyn began discussing the cast, starting with Viola Davis as Miss Ryleen and how she gave an honest performance of a southern black woman in the 1970s, frustrated stuck in a small rural town when in her youth she thought and believe she was destined for greater things. Graham & Jocelyn praised Jim Gaffigan's credible performance as Ramsey Flint, as well as young actress McKenna Grace as his daughter Christmas Flint. Jocelyn further praised Gaffigan's surprisingly dignified portrayal of a character; which could have easily been a caricature of a southern Rural lawyer in the 1970s. The two co host then continued to discuss the remaining characters in the show including the performance of Allison Janney. Jocelyn thought Allison Janney nailed the southern accent and pointed out that most actors seem to think doing a southern accent is an easy thin to do when in reality it's more complex than simply pulling off a twang. Janney was able to capture all of the vivid colors of a southern belle in this character. Listen to the full episode at your leisure and tell us what you think.
