This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast:
Sean and Jeff kick things off by gleefully roasting the trailer for the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel—which looks more like a parody than a follow-up. From there, they split on one of the more polarizing new releases before coming together for an emotional deep-dive into one of the year's best films.
Materialists
Directed by Celine
Song
Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal
A high-end New York City matchmaker finds herself caught between a
lucrative life with the “perfect” client and unresolved feelings
for her flawed, but compelling, ex. One of our hosts appreciated
the charm, the other… not so much.
The Life of Chuck
Directed by Mike
Flanagan
Starring Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark
Hamill, Mia Sara, and Carl Lumbly
Flanagan dials back the horror to deliver a deeply personal,
existential love letter to life and memory. Based on a Stephen King
short story, The Life of
Chuck is haunting, beautiful, and profoundly moving. Both Sean
and Jeff were all in on this one.
Classic Review: A Good Marriage
We didn’t linger too long on this 2014 thriller based on another Stephen King short story. Following the emotional resonance of The Life of Chuck, returning to a run-of-the-mill King adaptation just didn’t quite hit.
