Summary

For this week's third podcast review, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte & Josh Parham to review and discuss the feature directorial debut from Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison, "The Fire Inside," starring Ryan Destiny & Brian Tyree Henry. The film tells the true underdog story of Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, a boxer from Flint, Michigan, who trained to become the first woman in her country's history to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in the sport. What did we think of Barry Jenkins's screenplay, the direction from Morrison, and the performances by Destiny and Tyree Henry? 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!
