Spider-Man: No Way Home, Licorice Pizza, The French Dispatch, The Scary of Sixty-First, The Worst Person in the World & Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Movie Squad Podcast #56)

Hold onto your hats (and maybe play this podcast at half-speed) because Movie Squad hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo wrap up the year in epic style with SIX reviews.

First up, Tristan and Breakfast host/Tom Holland-superfan Taylah Strano look at the highly anticipated new Spidey-flick Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Then, Simon settles in for the extremely confronting and provocative horror-comedy The Scary of Sixty-First from star-director Dasha Nekrasova.

Tristan delivers his take on Wes Anderson’s latest: the predictably particular and wry tribute to journalism, The French Dispatch.

Simon and Tristan offer their critique of Paul Thomas Anderson’s ’70s-set comedy Licorice Pizza, starring Alana Haim (and the whole Haim family!) alongside Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s son, Cooper Hoffman.

They also deliver a review of The Worst Person in the World, from Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier, all about a woman turning 30 and wrestling with what she wants her life to look like.

Finally, Tristan and Taylah deliver their whip-fast thoughts on Ghostbusters: Afterlife, director Jason Reitman’s anticipated reboot/sequel to his father Ivan’s 1984 original, starring Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon.

Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Scary of Sixty-First and The French Dispatch are all in Australian cinemas now. Licorice Pizza and The Worst Person in the World open Boxing Day. Ghostbusters: Afterlife opens New Year’s Day.

Stay tuned for a special holiday treat from the Movie Squad crew in the coming weeks!
