'Straw is No Exit for Black Women' 53:40

7M ago53:40

53:40

Tyler Perry's Straw has a misleading title — because it isn't a straw that breaks the camel's back in the film about a single mom (Taraji P. Henson) driven to extremes, but an absolutely nightmarish event that is only revealed in the film's insane final act. In this episode, Aaron, Keith and Tim talk about whether the movie takes place in hell, gre…

Magazine Dreams and the Return of Jonathan Majors 53:49

8M ago53:49

53:49

Sometimes we talk about movies that are a good hang. Elijah Bynum's Magazine Dreams is not one of them, but it is a fascinating watch with an astonishing performance by Jonathan Majors. At one point it looked like he could win an Oscar for the role — before legal troubles nearly ended his career. Now Magazine Dreams is part of a comeback attempt. H…

When Your Younger Self Attacks Your Older Self 1:14:12

10M ago1:14:12

Has James Patterson already used TRIPLE CROSS as the title of one of his dozens of Alex Cross novels? We don't know. If not, Mr. Patterson, it's all yours. On this episode of LOW KEY we talk about DC cop/psychologist Alex Cross, played in the new Amazon Prime series CROSS by the always good Aldis Hodge. We think it has crossover appeal. Hosted on A…

Woman of the Hour: How to Not Be Like a Serial Killer 44:49

1y ago44:49

44:49

Woman of the Hour starts out with a deliciously trash concept: a woman (Anna Kendrick) goes on a dating show where one of the three bachelors is a serial killer. But it takes a serious turn when almost every man in sight fails as a human being — except for George Elliott. We talk this episode about how to be a real man. Hosted on Acast. See acast.c…

This week we talk about HIT MAN, which Richard Linklater and Glen Powell wrote together, and which Linklater directs and Powell stars in.
