It’s the most wonderful time of the year… hosts Alan & Chris might be heard humming this tune around town… not because of holiday parties and finding the perfect gifts on Amazon… but because of all the great movies hitting theater screens across the country. This episode features reviews of “Ford v Ferrari” starring Matt Damon & Christian Bale from director Rian Johnson, and “A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood” featuring Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers.

In this episode, hosts Alan & Chris discuss “The Lighthouse” the latest film from Robert Eggers starring Willem Dafoe & Robert Pattinson and the possible Oscar contender “Marriage Story” starring Adam Driver and Scarlet Johansen.

Comedian Eddie Murphy is back…and thankfully not as a talking donkey in another Shrek sequel. Alan & Chris share their thoughts on his latest “Dolemite Is My Name” as well as the discussion-worthy indie “Luce” starring Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Octavia Spencer and a career-defining performance from Kelvin Harrison, Jr.

Ad Astra’s character study of an astronaut (Brad Pitt) with daddy issues or Joker’s character study of a troubled clown (Joaquin Phoenix) with daddy issues. Hosts Alan & Chris share their thoughts on both films and which one they found more compelling (and which one almost put one host to sleep).

If Alan & Chris set out to discuss two more divergent films than they did in this episode it might not be possible. First up they discuss “The Biggest Little Farm” – a documentary that follows a couple who decide to switch careers and start a farm. The hosts then share their thoughts on Casey Affleck’s latest project “Light of My Life” about a father & his daughter trying to survive in a world where a plague has all but wiped out the female population.

On this episode of the Footcandle Films podcast, hosts Alan and Chris review “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” and “Crawl”
