For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago & Cody Dericks to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-nominee RaMell Ross, "Nickel Boys," starring Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Hamish Linklater, Fred Hechinger, Daveed Diggs & Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Adapted from Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize Award-winning novel, the story follows two African American boys, Elwood and Turner, who are sent to an abusive reform school called the Nickel Academy in 1960s Florida. It has received critical acclaim since its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and has since been nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards and five nominations at the 30th Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture. What did we think of the story, cinematography, performances, themes, score, and direction from Ross? Please tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
