Shang-Chi and Coming Home in the Dark (Movie Squad Podcast #40)
They’re baaaaaack.
Though Movie Squad has been covering the latest films every Friday at 7:30am on Breakfast With Taylah, squad-mates Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo return with the first podcast episode of 2021. And this time, they promise to keep it regular!
Each week on the pod, you’ll hear them (and occasionally Cecilia Allen) reviewing the best (and worst) arthouse, blockbuster and streaming releases with Brekky host Taylah Strano. Plus, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss original episodes and interviews, featuring special guests, including filmmakers, fellow critics and other RTRFM personalities.
On this episode, Tristan kicks off with a review of the latest Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, starring Simu Liu and the legendary Tony Leung. Does it live up to the hype? And how the hell did Marvel stan Taylah not have this on her radar?
Plus, Simon runs down Coming Home in the Dark, a grim New Zealand thriller about a family abducted by a strange and terrifying duo with a twisted history (that may or may not be connected to the family’s father, played by Erik Thomson). Tristan and Simon weigh up whether this very good film is worth the emotional turmoil of the viewing experience.
