Podcast: Something in the Dirt & Emancipation (w/ Guest Host Rachel Ho)

Greetings, programs, and welcome to a very special episode of the show.  This week (and next!) Simon is on holiday, so Matthew is joined once again by our friend Rachel Ho of Exclaim.ca, ThatShelf.com, POV Magazine, and The Globe and Mail!  

We’re diving into an indie darling and a big, oscar-bait action spectacle this week.  First, Benson & Moorhead’s Something in the Dirt, which is finally in release after premiering all the way back at Sundance at the beginning of 2022.  Then we move on to Emancipation, Will Smith’s first big release since “the slap”.  One of these is quite good, and the other not so much.  Listen to find out which!

Thank you so much for joining us!  If you’re new to the show, welcome; we’re glad you’re here!      If you’ve been listening for a while, welcome back, we’re glad you’re here!
