0:00.0 | Let him go isn't subtle, but as a genre film, it's original and shrewdly made with a |
0:28.1 | flora-dly gripping suspense. That's Owen Glyberman, one of the best film critics in America. He's the |
0:33.5 | chief film critic for Variety. His thoughts on her feature review this week let him go. Let him go is only the |
0:38.4 | third film that I've seen in movie theaters since the pandemic began in March 11. Think about that. I |
0:43.8 | liked me. I could go once a week and I've gone three times now in eight-and-a-half months and |
0:48.6 | thankfully I found it to be a very rewarding experience in a film that was much better than I had |
0:52.8 | anticipated. I like the trailer, but the movie was even better than the trailer. Plus we've got |
0:56.8 | entertainment news involving Wonder Woman 1984 and a little gal Gadot for you coming to America. Wherever |
1:03.1 | you heard this before, push from 2020 now to 2021. Merrill Streep wrapping big news, though. We've got |
1:09.0 | Ben Lions back, baby. The Lions, then. My man. You can always follow him on Twitter, Instagram. I am Ben |

1:28.7 | Haven't caught up with Ben since February 5th. That was when we talked just after Sundance. He was |
1:33.2 | giving his reviews of the Sundance movie. So long time catch up with Ben. His wife's got a new |
1:37.2 | book out. I encourage everyone to check that out. Merrill Lions, it's called Crystal Healing for Women. |
1:42.4 | And we talk about just his favorite movie so far this year and what films to look forward to with |
1:46.4 | the awards circuit. Normally we'd be knee deep. I start getting screeners in mid-October. Now I think |
1:52.1 | it's going to be mid-December because you know the Oscars got pushed from late February to late April. |
1:56.5 | So if you do the math, two months from now we should get going. But December is going to be a big |
2:00.4 | time month for your Oscar hopefuls. December 4th, you're going to get Mank from David Fincher, |
