Face-To-Face With The Blowhole (Episode 693)
If 14 reviews were not enough for you last week then Erik Childress & Steve Prokopy have another 13 for you this week. They include the horrors of spiders (Crawlers) and traveling vampires (Devour). There’s the story of the physician accused of murdering Anna Nicole Smith (Trust Me, I’m A Doctor) and the guide who helped Edmund Hillary reach the top of Everest (Tenzing). Sebastian Stan & Renate Reinsve are at the center of child protective custody (Fjord) and Chris Rock blows the lid off of being an aging black woman in Hollywood with a bipolar sibling (Misty Green). There’s another Jane Austin adaptation (Sense and Sensibility) but there may not be another like Ken Russell’s restored 1971 tale of religious repression and power (The Devils). On the documentary side there is Alex Gibney’s four-hour examination of one scumbag (Musk) and Nathan Fielder & Lance Oppenheim’s visit to another in Elizabeth Holmes (You Can See Everything). Thankfully, Judd Apatow sets his sights on another comic legend (Norm: The Tale of Norm MacDonald). If Jean Claude Van Damme and Chris Klein weren’t enough for you, there’s another reboot of the Capcom video game (Street Fighter). Finally, Austin Abrams goes the Jonah/Pinocchio route in solving his daddy issues (Whalefall).
