IN THIS PODCAST: JJ Gordon – during It Takes 2 – gives us the rundown on what to watch this weekend!
SEE IT – Game Night. It’s an R-rated comedy (mainly for language) about a game night with friends that goes awry when the gang thinks they are taking part in a murder mystery party that is ACTUALLY a real life kidnapping. Very funny stuff. A lot of gasps and great chemistry from the lead actors – Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) and Rachel McAdams (The Notebook). The crowd was all smiles after the screening I took in last night.
STREAM IT – Logan Lucky on Amazon Prime – Two brothers attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (the ocean’s 11 series) so the fun is there – but also the heart. A must watch!
SKIP IT – No skip it this week – instead, I want to tell you about the Best Picture Festival starting this weekend. There are nine films nominated for Best Picture for the coveted 2018 Oscar. If you need to catch up on some of these, you can sit in a dark theatre all day tomorrow and next Saturday. Half on one, the rest on the other. I am pushing folks to get out there and see Lady Bird, The Shape of Water and Darkest Hour.
JJ Gordon!
