Movie Madness

Erik Childress spent six days at this year’s Toronto Film Festival and is here to dish on a bunch of the films he saw. They include the latest works from Francis Ford Coppola, Pedro Almodovar, Ron Howard and Sean Baker. Films about the aging plight of women in entertainment with Demi Moore, Elisabeth Moss and Pamela Anderson run the gamut from great to dismal. The Vatican and religion have their share of bad guys too. Erik splits his votes on a pair of relationship dramas as well as films about Press Your Luck and Saturday Night Live. Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams handle their unsatisfying home lives in wildly different manners. Plus, the latest Stephen King adaptation from Mike Flanagan wins both the festival’s Audience Award as well as Erik’s heart. All this and more on a recap of this year’s fest. 0:00 - Intro 2:21 – The Luckiest Man In America 8:09 - The Substance 15:24 - The Last Showgirl 19:28 - The Life of Chuck 25:28 - We Live in Time 28:22 - Anora 34:06 - Eden 38:41 - Nightbitch 44:36 - Shel
