Movie Madness

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are back to their old ways, reviewing ten new movies on this week’s show including a little early preview. The rest include a tale of obesity and bullying (Butter) and a family hooks up on Zoom to grieve grandma (Family Squares). More pandemic cinema takes Naomi Watts on a jog of social terror (The Desperate Hour) and Havana Rose Liu ends up at the worst rest stop (No Exit). There is also the story about record label head Alan McGee (Creation Stories) and Andy Garcia looking for someone to write his biography (Big Gold Brick). A family of filmmakers write, direct and star in a tale of witchcraft (Hellbender) and the Foo Fighters try to dabble in horror by creating their own movie (Studio 666). Finally released is a film that was on Erik’s top ten list in 2021 (Cyrano) and the guys have an early review of Matt Reeves’ new film which may end up on a few lists in 2022 (The Batman).   1:52 – Butter 10:31 – Family Squares 18:30 – No Exit 25:49 – Creation Stories 33:39 - The Despera
