Episode 26 of One Week Only! This week, our key film is the LGBT drama “Spa Night” about a Korean-American teenager dealing with his family’s financial struggles and his own closeted sexuality. Directed by Andrew Ahn, and featuring a breakout performance from Joe Seo, this is a terrific, nuanced debut film about class, race, sexuality and the immigrant story; it premiered at Sundance this past January, and won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Outfest Film Festival. We usually interview filmmakers on the podcast, but this week we talk to film critic Diana Drumm, who has created the Twitter account “Female Film Critics” to create a community of female journalists and critics and bring attention to the lack of female representation in the entertainment journalism circuit. Drumm has created an important & necessary female space in the online journalism world; you can find her page on Facebook, and on Twitter at @FemaleCritics. Other films we cover this week include the Guatemalan drama “Ixcanul” about a Mayan family, directed by Jayro Bustamante; father-son comedy “Morris From America” by Chad Hartigan, starring Craig Robinson; documentary “Lo And Behold: Reveries of the Connected World” by Werner Herzog, about the expanding world of the internet; and German period film “The People vs Fritz Bauer” about the hunt for Nazi war criminals after WWII, directed by Lars Kraume.
