Episode 33 – And Now For an Update
for next month. DOCUMENTARIES!!! My fav.
Today we are talking about Admission, a film starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd about a Princeton admissions officer who takes a risk on a college-bound student who she believes might be her son. In the process she discovers a lot about herself. This romantic comedy came out in 2013 and is available right now on Apple TV. It doesn’t have high marks but we would definitely give it a solid B+
starring Val Kilmer, Gabriel Jarret, Michelle Meyrink and William Atherton. It is a film about Mitch Taylor who rooms with Chris Knight, school prodigy, and they work on a high powered laser. Only to discover that their professor is going to use it for evil instead of for good.
Today we are talking about the 2004 film written and directed by Kevin Smith, Jersey Girl. This film put a bad taste in people’s mouth because the year previous the tabloids hit us over the head with the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (remember Bennifer?)

Today we are talking about not a Kevin Smith film but a film with Kevin Smith in it. The 2006 film written and directed by Susannah Grant is the tale of Gray played by Jennifer Garner whose husband dies just before the beginning of the film. She spends the rest of the film trying to figure out a hidden part of her would have been husband’s life.
Today we are talking about the 2016 Damien Chazelle film, La La Land staring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, JK Simmons and Rosemarie DeWitt. The film follows the path of an actress and a pianist as they follow their dreams.
