From director Sam Mendes (Revolutionary Road, 1917) comes a road trip rom-com about some soon-to-be parents. The expectant couple are played by comedy legends Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski who hit the road in an attempt to figure out what kind of parents they want to be. Along the way they’ll encounter new ideas, old wounds, and anti-stroller rhetoric. Hop in with Jim and A.Ron as they explore the themes and ideas Sam Mendes is sharing with us.
We’re finally seeing a movie with the theater crowd for the first time since the pandemic started and it’s the sequel to a really enjoyable movie from 2018, A Quiet Place Part II. This time, John Krasinski is both writing and directing. How does that work out for the movie? Well, join us for the non-spoiler podcast to find out, then stick around after the trailer talk if you’re a club member for the deep dive into the spoilers.
Jim and I went to see the new horror/suspense film, A Quiet Place, directed by and starring John Krasinski, who is joined by his co-star Emily Blunt. Both are extremely effective at wringing genuine fear and emotion from the audience as they interact with a cast of really talented young actors. There are problems we have with the film, some of them big ones, but the bottom line is the movie offers a very unique theater experience, it’s extremely tense and scary, and the parts that have to work really work well.
