Episode 301: Movie News, Blonde, Pearl

Fall movie season begins in earnest this week, and we have a Breakfast All Day review of two much-anticipated titles featuring deeply committed performances from their female stars. “Blonde” finds Ana de Armas at the center of a beautiful and brutal look at the life of Marilyn Monroe, and “Pearl,” the prequel to “X,” offers a gonzo turn from Mia Goth. In news, Christy and Alonso discuss “Rogue Squadron,” “Squid Game,” “The Little Mermaid,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and more. And it’s a big day on our Patreon because “The Handmaid’s Tale” is back on Hulu, and we have a recap of the first two episodes of season 5. We also recap this week’s “She-Hulk,” which gave Alonso a new nickname. Join us for all this podcast goodness!
