| 0:00.0 | Let him go isn't subtle, but as a genre film, it's original and shrewdly made with a |
| 0:28.1 | flora-dly gripping suspense. That's Owen Glyberman, one of the best film critics in America. He's the |
| 0:33.5 | chief film critic for Variety. His thoughts on her feature review this week let him go. Let him go is only the |
| 0:38.4 | third film that I've seen in movie theaters since the pandemic began in March 11. Think about that. I |
| 0:43.8 | liked me. I could go once a week and I've gone three times now in eight-and-a-half months and |
| 0:48.6 | thankfully I found it to be a very rewarding experience in a film that was much better than I had |
| 0:52.8 | anticipated. I like the trailer, but the movie was even better than the trailer. Plus we've got |
| 0:56.8 | entertainment news involving Wonder Woman 1984 and a little gal Gadot for you coming to America. Wherever |
| 1:03.1 | you heard this before, push from 2020 now to 2021. Merrill Streep wrapping big news, though. We've got |
| 1:09.0 | Ben Lions back, baby. The Lions, then. My man. You can always follow him on Twitter, Instagram. I am Ben |
| 1:14.1 | Lions, the son of Jeffrey Lions, a famed film critic, grandson, famous newspaper columnist Leonard Lions. |

| 1:24.5 | ways, he's the reason there even is a cinephile because of his support and getting me to the Oscars. |
| 1:28.7 | Haven't caught up with Ben since February 5th. That was when we talked just after Sundance. He was |
| 1:33.2 | giving his reviews of the Sundance movie. So long time catch up with Ben. His wife's got a new |
| 1:37.2 | book out. I encourage everyone to check that out. Merrill Lions, it's called Crystal Healing for Women. |
| 1:42.4 | And we talk about just his favorite movie so far this year and what films to look forward to with |
| 1:46.4 | the awards circuit. Normally we'd be knee deep. I start getting screeners in mid-October. Now I think |
| 1:52.1 | it's going to be mid-December because you know the Oscars got pushed from late February to late April. |
| 1:56.5 | So if you do the math, two months from now we should get going. But December is going to be a big |
| 2:00.4 | time month for your Oscar hopefuls. December 4th, you're going to get Mank from David Fincher, |
| 2:05.5 | Nomad Land, which won the audience award in Toronto, Chloe Jaws film, Frances McDormand, |
