Summary

Happy New Year! For our main podcast review this week, Eve O'Dea, Dan Bayer & Josh Parham joined me to discuss "The Tragedy Of Macbeth," starring Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Corey Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, Harry Melling, Kathryn Hunter, Moses Ingram & Alex Hassell. The first film to be directed by Joel Coen without involvement from his brother Ethan, the black-and-white film is an adaptation of the famous William Shakespeare play where classic and modern filmmaking techniques are merged to deliver something wholly unique. The film is currently playing in limited release and will be available to stream on Apple TV+ on January 14th. What did we think of the performances, the adaptation, the cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel, and the sound? We discuss all of these points and the film's awards prospects in our SPOILER-FILLED review, which you can listen to down below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
