With the Academy Awards ceremony approaching, Alan and Chris opted to take some time to discuss the multiple award nominee “Minari”. They follow up with a review of the new director’s cut of “Justice League” that was recently released exclusively on HBO. Some tidbits of movie news and film recommendations round out the episode.

Recommendations from Alan and Chris in this episode: “The Mole Agent”, “Godzilla vs. Kong”

Alan Jackson is the co-founder of the Footcandle Film Society and resides in Hickory, NC. He enjoys a wide variety of films – but mainly those of Martin Scorsese, his all-time favorite Director. Despite liking smaller, independent films, Alan also likes films with giant monsters or where animals talk. Alan also thinks Citizen Kane deserves every bit of credit it ever gets.

Chris Frye, the other co-founder of Footcandle Film Society, is a fan of directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, and David Gordon Green. He lives in Newton, NC, and has always been a movie buff. His favorite actors range from Steve Coogan to Christoph Waltz to Jeff Bridges. You may be surprised to know he has never seen Dirty Dancing or Pretty in Pink (gasp!)
