Description

We have only three shows left--including this one--before Dorkfest: It is getting very serious now.

This week, we look at Chloe Zhao's Shakespeare drama "Hamnet." Then we dramatically shift gears to discuss Rian Johnson's third Knives Out film, "Wake Up Dead Man." And we close with the Cannes hit "The Secret Agent." Again: Just three shows left--counting this one!--until Dorkfest. Happy December!

Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.
