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!

KING RICHARD, BRUISED, and THE HUMANS on Episode #385
The film’s amazing performances are KING RICHARD’s greatest strength
This week just in time for the holiday, we kick off our show with Stephen Karam’s Thanksgiving family drama THE HUMANS (1:41), which underwhelms despite its stacked cast. Next we discuss Halle Berry’s directorial debut BRUISED (16:32) a formulaic sports film about a down on her luck queer MMA fighter trying to find redemption. Then we review KING RICHARD (34:45), Reinaldo Marcus Green’s engaging sports biopic, which looks at how Venus and Serena Williams’ father Richard (Will Smith) propelled them into tennis superstardom from birth. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about the winner of our November film noir poll, Robert Altman’s 1973 film THE LONG GOODBYE, starring Elliott Gould!
