Grierson & Leitch

Hey, look, it's another Marvel movie! This one's directed by Sam Raimi, and it, surprisingly, feels like a Sam Raimi movie: It's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." Then, in a remarkable (and very depressing) bit of timing, French abortion movie "Happening" hits screens. We also preview the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, which Grierson is leaving for next week. That's why we won't have a show next week. He'll be in France. Eating crepes, probably.

We've got three foreign language movies for you, but stick with us, don't leave! They're all fascinating.

Holy shit. Holy shit! The craziest Oscars ever--the craziest Oscars imaginable--just ended, and boy are we glad we stayed up to talk about them. What can you even say? Will Smith slapped Chris Rock! In the face! On the night he won Best Actor? Listen to our brains fry, in real time. Fortunately, we taped our reviews of the Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum comedy "The Lost City" and the Daniels' wild indie "Everything Everywhere All at Once" BEFORE the Oscars.
