Exploring Film Themes: Anti-vax Associations, Government Authority, and Suffering for Humanity

Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode star in part Christmas, part apocalyptic film Silent Night. Writer/Director Camille Griffin joins the show to talk about collaborating with her actor sons, including Roman Griffin Davis, how famed cinematographer and her husband, Ben Davis refused to shoot the film, and more. 

Producer Amy Pascal confirmed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is set to return to the MCU following Spider-Man: No Way Home, however, things got a little more complicated as “Sony insiders” quickly responded saying nothing yet was confirmed. We dissect exactly what happened, and what we think comes next. 

Also on this week’s show, we review The Power Of The Dog starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and Camille Griffin’s Silent Night which is now available in theaters and AMC+.
