Scrapper and Biosphere (Movie Squad Podcast #136)
Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen discuss two new movies in this episode of the Movie Squad podcast!
For the first review, we take a look at the new British comedy-drama, Scrapper, starring Harris Dickinson and Lola Campbell (in her acting debut), which is the first feature film from director Charlotte Regan. A resourceful 12-year-old girl lives by herself in a council flat, still dealing with the loss of her mother. Things take a turn when her estranged father shows up on her doorstep to reconnect.
Next, Cecilia looks at the off-beat American indie film, Biosphere, directed by Mel Eslyn, which takes place in a biosphere after the apocalypse where two men live together – played by Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown. As resources start to diminish, they are both surprised by what comes next. Not to worry – no spoilers – though the Squad does discuss whether this would be a good date-movie!
In the podcast exclusive chat, Cecilia and Tristan also discuss what they’ve been watching on streaming platforms recently and share their personal recommendations.
