Fun podcast! I’m going to ignore Kristen’s comments about Magnolia, though I do agree about PTA in general (especially The Master!). I haven’t read up on a lot of 2018 films, so this episode was helpful. My #1 in the near future is Blank Panther, which I plan to see opening weekend (a rarity for me these days). I have mixed feelings about the book Annihilation, and the trailer didn’t give me a lot of hope for it. I did like Ex Machina a lot. I’m also excited to see A Wrinkle in Time because of Ava DuVernay, and the preview looked cool. There are a lot of sequels that don’t excite me (Jurassic World, Pacific Rim, and so many more), so it’s going to be an interesting year.
Thanks Dan! Glad to help with some upcoming movies, I hadn’t heard of a lot of them either.
