This week we are talking about Taron Egerton's embodiment of a young Elton John. Really more of a musical than a biopic, this movie has some great performances with maybe a few little character issues.

We also get in to the themes and iconography that he uses to tell a more layered story than just a basic slasher movie.

John Cassavetes writes, directs and produces this film starring his wife Gena Rowlands (who gets an Oscar nod) as a mother and wife whose "mental illness" makes interacting with others difficult. Join us as we break down the directing style and amazing performances, but be warned that this movie is troublesome and full of emotion.

We are talking about Spike Lee's "too crazy to be true, but it is" KKK infiltration movie starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and Laura Harrier. This film is great about starting conversations and brings up subject matter that is important, is peppered with genuine humor and deadly seriousness at just the right places.

Alfonso Cuarón's new semi-autobiographical film focuses on the maid of a middle class Mexican family in Mexico City in the early 1970's. We talk about how this movie is presented in black and white with some amazing shots and an enveloping sound design. Cuarón made the bold choice to cast a first time actress in the main part and to not give anyone the script!
