All Rights Reserved.Megan kicks off this week’s show by offering her thoughts on Disney’s new live-action adaptation of THE LITTLE MERMAID (2:18), which features a fantastic performance and amazing vocals from lead Halle Bailey. Next, we all discuss Kurtis David Harder’s smart and entertaining horror movie INFLUENCER (9:50), which subverts expectations in a number of ways with its tale about a social media influencer (Emily Tennant) who makes a dangerous new friend (Cassandra Naud) while traveling in Thailand. After that, we cover Alexander Jefferey’s indie rom-com DAYS OF DAISY (26:52), which has us pretty divided about its story of a 39-year-old librarian’s (Jency Griffin Hogan) quest to find the right guy to start a family with. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about the winner of our AAPI Heritage Month poll, Aneesh Chaganty’s 2018 thriller SEARCHING starring John Cho and Debra Messing!
