Summary

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Joselyn Safadi, and I are reviewing and discussing the feature directorial debut of Alex Scharfman, "Death Of A Unicorn," starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Richard E. Grant & Anthony Carrigan. The film takes a highly unique concept and attempts to blend comedy with creature thrills and a heartfelt drama between a father and daughter. It had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, where it received mixed reviews, but what did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the writing, humor, visual effects, unicorn kills, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
