The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Haunted Houses, Embalmed Hands and Beanie Babies

Last week's episode covered three big movies. This week's ... is not so major. We reviewed Haunted Mansion, Talk to Me and The Beanie Bubble. Check it out down below.

'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Reviewing 'Haunted Mansion,' 'Talk to Me,' 'War Pony' and 'Sympathy for the Devil'

Katie Walsh and I were on KCRW Thursday to discuss this weekend's new releases. It's always fun being on with her. You can hear our conversation down below. 

'Haunted Mansion' Review

Barbenheimer created such good vibes that it's a bummer that the big release this weekend won't be able to sustain that momentum. For Screen International, I reviewed Haunted Mansion.

'The Harder They Fall' Doesn't Ride Off Into the Sunset

Here's an interesting idea: Take several prominent real-life Black cowboys, put them together in a fictionalized drama, and let them shoot it out. Sadly, I wasn't much of a fan of The Harder They Fall.

'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Daniel Kaluuya, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Yeun and 'Barb & Star'

I was on KCRW alongside Carlos Aguilar to review Judas and the Black Messiah, French Exit, Minari and Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar. A fun time was had by all. Hope you enjoy.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Downhill,' 'The Photograph' and 'Sonic the Hedgehog'

This week on the podcast, we review a so-so relationship comedy, a darn good relationship drama and a movie about a hedgehog. (I also talk smack about Fantasy Island.) Hear the whole thing below.

'The Photograph' Review

The Photograph is a romantic drama with its share of flaws. But I actively tried to forget about them because I enjoyed Issa Rae and LaKeith Stainfield's chemistry so damn much. My review is up at Screen International.
