The Testament of Ann Lee and The Moment (Movie Squad Podcast #526)
What an accomplishment: this week on the Movie Squad pod, Tristan Fidler and Laura Blundell review two movies with the suffix ‘ment’ in the title!
First, Laura (rendering a judgment for an absent Simon Miraudo) reviews The Testament of Ann Lee, a musical drama starring Amanda Seyfried as the founder of religious movement the Shakers. Is this a sacrament worthy of a compliment?
Then, Tristan and Brekky host Pam Boland pass their discernment over Charli XCX’s The Moment, a monument to the denouement of Brat summer and the debasement of Charli’s celebrity persona. Is this mockumentary treatment a satisfying statement on the prevailing sentiment towards the Brat experiment or an indictment of Charli’s predicament?
Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat as Laura shares bonus reviews of her recent watches, including Chinatown, Night Moves and more.
Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month.
Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
