The Prom | Ammonite | Ma Rainey's Black Bottom | Let Them All Talk | Mank | The Sound of Metal
In this super-sized December episode, we disagree on the failings of Ryan Murphy’s queer musical comedy THE PROM, agree on the failings of Francis Lee’s period lesbian romance AMMONITE, hail Chadwick Boseman’s final performance in George C. Wolfe’s MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM, discuss our own cruise memories in relation to Steven Soderbergh’s LET THEM ALL TALK, are underwhelmed by David Fincher’s MANK, and are overwhelmed by every aspect of Darius Marder’s SOUND OF METAL.
