Chris share his thoughts on Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast with Saorsie Ronan, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern, and more! Does Gerwing deliver another winner with her sophomore effort? Then the gang reviews Joanna Hogg’s stirring, some say dull, mediation of a tumultuous relationship dealing with a partner’s addiction.
