Evan is off this week, so Dave and Megan review CONSECRATION (3:18), Cristopher Smith’s disappointing supernatural horror film, starring Jena Malone who investigates her brother’s death at a convent. Then we discuss Laurel Parmet’s excellent nuanced drama THE STARLING GIRL (24:42), starring Eliza Scanlen as a 17-year-old in a fundamentalist Christian community dealing with her faith when she falls for the youth pastor (Lewis Pullman). And on this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, since FAST X opens in theaters, we talk about Justin Lin’s FAST FIVE (2011), starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker!

DA 5 BLOODS, 7500, and BABYTEETH on Episode #310
Bring it in for a moment Bloods
This week we discuss Lance Reddick on THE WIRE before we review movies. We start with 7500 (3:01), a tense plane hijacking film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt that sadly runs out of steam partway through. Then we discuss BABYTEETH (11:11), a challenging drama about a family grappling with a teenager’s illness that divides our hosts. Next, we delve deep into Spike Lee’s Netflix film DA 5 BLOODS (30:00), an ambitious and haunting story about Black Vietnam War veterans with A LOT to unpack. To continue elevating Black voices in cinema, we devote this week’s Patreon exclusive audio to the 2011 Dee Rees queer film PARIAH, one of Megan’s all-time favorite movies (for good reason).
