About this listen

 Josh welcomes Michael Phillips to discuss Ari Aster’s divisive pandemic-set movie EDDINGTON – a review that appropriately includes the phrase, "I couldn’t agree less with you…" Plus, Michael shares thoughts on THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS; Josh gives the "non-cringe ventriloquist comedy" SUNLIGHT a Golden Brick nomination; and, from 2023, the Top 5 Joaquin Phoenix Performances. This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited⁠⁠, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
