When You Finish Saving The World and Pinball

We've got reviews of two feature directorial debuts on this episode. First, we talk about actor turned writer/director Jesse Eisenberg's WHEN YOU FINISH SAVING THE WORLD starring Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard. Our second debut is the film PINBALL: THE MAN WHO SAVED THE GAME starring Mike Faist. Speaking of saving...we saved our thoughts on the recent slap-free academy awards for the news section of this podcast. Wrapping up the show, we each recommend a film you might want to check out (or in Alan's case steer clear of).Recommendations: "Clerks III", "The Outfit"Footcandle Film SocietySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of our hosts recommends that 1988's VAMPIRE'S KISS featuring an unhinged Nic Cage performance might just do the trick.Recommendations from our hosts in this episode: "Vampire's Kiss"Footcandle Film SocietySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
