Summary

For this week's main podcast review, Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago, and I are here to discuss the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, "Black Bag," starring Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abella, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke & Pierce Brosnan. Written by David Koepp and set within the British world of spies where trust is scarce, the film is a sexy, slick, stylish thriller where the words are the action, and the relationships at home and at work matter. What did we think of the story, the characters, performances, dialogue, and direction from Soderbergh (not to mention his editing and cinematography)? Please tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
