Weekly Recap: Joker, Lucy In The Sky, & More!


Here's a packed week to look into, starting with the Crown Prince of Gotham City, Joker. The film has arrived and it's big, dark, and gritty. A few other notable releases as well, including an astronaut drama that could have been better. At home, you can find Spider-Man swinging around Europe for fun. There are also plenty of new trailers to dig into as well. And lastly, be sure to enjoy a couple of new podcasts we put together for all to hear and have fun with, including our reviews of Ad Astra and Abominable. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

  • Joker - Joaquin Phoenix is as great as one expects in a film that works as a dark character study more than a comic book movie. 
  • Lucy in the Sky - Speaking of dark character studies, this is a flawed feature that could have been better.
  • Pain and GloryAnd to cap things off, this Spanish character study starring Antonio Banderas is a great piece of self-reflection from director Pedro Almodovar.
  • The Day Shall Come - A solid satire from the minds that brought you Four Lions and Veep.
  • Monos - Visually compelling and mesmerizing (now in more theaters)
