Description

Celine Song's follow-up to her beloved "Past Lives" stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in a rom-com about the commodification of modern love, "Materialists." The film had a lot of promise, especially considering who was cast, but it falls short of packing a real punch. In this weeks episode, your host Elise Hernke breaks down what didn't work, but also dissects some of interesting themes that the film presents.
