It's just Kevin and Lauren this week and they discuss We Live in Time before going Netflix crazy with Don't Move, Nobody Wants This, Woman of the Hour, and This is the Zodiac Speaking.
The episode kicks off with Lauren talking about We Live in Time. It stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh and is an endearing tale of love through the years. Their natural chemistry makes it an easy watch and the story is beautiful, while at times heartbreaking. We're a little on the fence as to whether Andrew and Florence will be up for awards for it, but it's not off the table.
Kevin takes us from a borderline excellent film to a film made for watching while washing the dishes. He reviews Don't Move, a new horror flick on Netflix about a woman who is kidnapped and drugged with a paralytic toxin before escaping her captor. There is potential here, and the acting is really decent, but the story takes the wrong turns and gets incredibly predictable after a really solid start.
Getting away from murder for a bit, and not long, really, Lauren talks about Nobody Wants This on Netflix. It's a romcom series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. Brody is a Rabbi who is on a path to becoming Head Rabbi, when Kristen Bell's character finds her way into his life. They actually have fantastic chemistry and the ups and downs of the story are well told. It's definitely worth watching and has already been renewed for season 2.
Kevin takes us right back to the murder board after this with the Netflix documentary, This is the Zodiac Killer. It's an excellent 3 part docuseries on a man widely thought to have been the Zodiac Killer. What really makes this series compelling is that most of it is told by a family that spent a great deal of time with this man during the period that Zodiac was active. The series then follows their stories about him and how they started to put the pieces together, sadly years too late. A ver fascinating watch if you have any interest in the Zodiac at all.
The show closes with something both Lauren and Kevin have watched. It's on, you guessed it, Netflix! Woman of the Hour, starring and directed by Anna Kendrik, is a real life story of a woman who went on The Dating Game and won a date with a bona fide serial killer. There's a lot more to this story and it's certainly worth a watch. Anna Kendrik really does a great job on her directorial debut, so check it out and see what you think.
