This week Evan opens with a plug for the Boston Israeli Film Festival, where he briefly mentions some moving shorts he saw from it (1:56). Then, Dave shares quick thoughts about the ending of I CARE A LOT (3:57). Megan starts the new movies with BOOGIE (7:58), Eddie Huang\'s coming-of-age story about an Asian American basketball player. Next, everyone discusses the Lee Daniels\' Hulu film THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY (17:16), a story about singer Billie Holiday\'s turbulent life (starring Andra Day) and the FBI\'s targeted campaign to harass her. After that we dig into LUCKY (31:35), Natasha Kermani and Brea Grant\'s horror film about a woman stalked by the same killer every night. We wrap up with Disney\'s RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON (47:36), an epic animated film starring Kelly Marie Tran and Awkwafina. For our Patreon bonus audio, we continue our James Cameron kick by digging into his 1984 film THE TERMINATOR.\\xa0
