The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Another 'Scream,' 'In the Blink of an Eye' and 'EPiC'

We are less than two weeks away from the Oscars. On our latest episode, though, we focus on new movies. We both disliked Scream 7 and In the Blink of an Eye. And then we got down with EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Check out our lively banter down below.

Hollywood's Take on Mike Tyson

Hulu's new series Mike is just the latest attempt to tell Iron Mike's story. Why do filmmakers so often get it wrong? I have some thoughts over at GQ.

Steve Martin - "Angel in Flip Flops"

Pitta putta. (Also, I love the London Calling reference in this video.)

What Is 'Bad Luck Banging'? And Why Is It Being Censored on Hulu?

Radu Jude's superb 2021 comedy-drama has now come to streaming services, and it doesn't resemble the film audiences saw last year. I explain both the movie and the controversy here.

'The Doors' and the Bygone Rock 'n' Roll Era

Oliver Stone's tribute to Jim Morrison is now on Hulu. I've never stopped thinking about The Doors since I saw it opening night back in 1991. For MEL, I wrote about how it remains a ridiculous, visionary film. Hope you enjoy.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Sequels, Origin Stories and 'Plan B'

We tackled three new movies on this week's episode. We're both big fans of A Quiet Place Part II, we both disliked Cruella, and we both feel bad we didn't dig Plan B more. Hear the whole thing down below.

'WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn' Review

Adam Neumann didn't just want to start a new company. He wanted to change the world. The documentary WeWork explores how successful he was in both ventures. My review is up at InsideHook.

'Happiest Season' Review

Happiest Season comes in deceptively cheesy packaging: It's your typically silly Christmas movie, except for the fact that it's about a lesbian couple going home to see one of the partner's parents (who don't know she's gay). I appreciated the subversiveness of that approach ... but I wish the movie was smarter on the whole. My review is up at Screen International.

'Run' Review

I enjoyed Aneesh Chaganty's debut film, Searching. But I'm a little less enamored with his follow-up. I reviewed Run for Screen International. 

'69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez' Review

Hulu surprise-released a documentary this morning about Tekashi69, one of hip-hop's most notorious (and embattled) figures. For Screen International, I dug into 69.

'The Binge' Review

Folks, I really, really hated The Binge. I went off on a rant at MEL.

'Normal People' Review

For MEL, I reviewed Hulu's highly anticipated adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel Normal People. (Spoiler: I found it pretty lovely.)
