116 - Roomates & Lee Cronin's The Mummy (Evident where the effort went)

121 - Finding Emily & The Mandalorian and Grogu (Flawed Fun)

Two films which are fun to watch despite their flaws. The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau and Finding Emily, directed by Alicia MacDonald. With Finding Emily powered by Spike Fearn's performance and The Mandalorian and Grogu held through its puppetry and action sequences, both are competently made but do not offer much more. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] ⁠⁠Finding Emily| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc2UjmPzN8c]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Mandalorian and Grogu | Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHWlvwu8t1w&pp=ygUhdGhlIG1hbmRhbG9yaWFuIGFuZCBncm9ndSB0cmFpbGVy]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

120 - Obsession & The Little Sister (Incredible performances by women for women)

In this episode, we discuss the new horror film by Curry Barker, Obsession and the Queer Palm winner from last year My Little Sister. Both films are centred around two fantastic performances by the female lead and are centred around female experiences (although on very different ends). 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] ⁠Obsession| Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaaDkbG3I7g] ⁠⁠The Little Sister | Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHntkAmfiNs] ⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

119 - Mother Mary & The Sheep Detectives (Can't help but love them)

Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery and starring Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, and Jessica Brown Findlay, might have one of the most unhinged plots of the year. Despite the performances and chemistry between the cast, the film is weirdly compelling and endlessly entertaining. Meanwhile, The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson, may not reinvent the murder-mystery wheel. Still, its cosy atmosphere and sharp execution make it impossible not to fall in love with it. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] Mother Mary| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE3KU_YT3_c&t=1s]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ ⁠The Sheep Detectives | Official Trailer⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk&pp=ygUcdGhlIHNoZWVwIGRldGVjdGl2ZXMgdHJhaWxlcg%3D%3D]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

118 - The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Can you continue a legacy?)

The Devil Wears Prada Returns! Starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu, among so many others, the sequel builds on the original and expands this world 20 years on.  The characters do feel evolved, and so does the world of fashion. Despite its flaws, the film remains incredibly enjoyable and makes you want to go on a shopping spree desperately. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Devil Wears Prada 2 | Official Trailer [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow & listen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0]

117 - Michael & Leaving Neverland (What is Jackson's Legacy?)

The new Michael Jackson Biopic, Michael, by Antoine Fuqua, feels like a by-the-numbers biopic. Starring Jackson's actual nephew, its greatest crime perhaps is to take such an incredible and interesting cultural figure and create something relatively mediocre from it. In contrast to the documentary about the allegations against him, Leaving Neverland feels incredibly dense and sometimes hard to keep up with, but it takes its 4-hour runtime to paint a detailed picture that stays with you long after you've stopped watching. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96] ⁠Michael | Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbtgEE6rkxw]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leaving Neverland | Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXrZ1k8UEQw] ⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow & listen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0]
