Episode 315 - A Prayer Before Dawn (2017) 11/22/2018 Hi everyone! Here’s a bonus episode for today, as I work to get caught up. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, go back and download my review for “Outlaw King” (Episode #314), where I spoke about having to be evacuated due to the wildfires in California, and how it puts a lot of things into perspective.

Episode 093 - First Match (2018) 04/03/2018 Today’s movie is “First Match” (2018), the debut feature-length film from Olivia Newman based on her short of the same title.
