Summary

"Thelma" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong reviews for Academy Award-nominee June Squibb's performance, her chemistry with the late Richard Rountree, the parody style of action filmmaking and its sweet depiction of the relationship between a grandparent and grandchild. We previously spoke with Director/Writer Josh Margolin, but now we're being joined by the extraordinary June Squibb herself. She was kind enough to talk to us about her work on the film, which you can listen to below. Don't miss the opportunity to catch this delightful film, now playing in a limited release from Magnolia Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
