Episode 156: News, Wonder Woman 1984, Soul, Promising Young Woman, One Night in Miami, News of the World

Everything you could possibly want is wrapped up and waiting for you under the tree at Breakfast All Day. Christy, Matt and Alonso review all the big Christmas releases a few days early: the sequel “Wonder Woman 1984,” Pixar’s “Soul,” the excellent “Promising Young Woman,” Regina King’s directing debut “One Night in Miami” and the Tom Hanks Western “News of the World.” In news, we discuss the LA Film Critics Association‘s awards voting, the continued criticism from filmmakers over the Warner Bros./HBO Max deal, Kirk Cameron‘s maskless Christmas caroling and Festivus! And over at our Patreon, we recap the last two episodes of “The Queen’s Gambit” and revisit the movie our subscribers chose for this month’s Off the Menu selection, 1974’s “Black Christmas.” This is our last episode of 2020, and we thank you sincerely for spending some time with us during this wretched year. Happy Holidays, and here’s to a happier 2021!
