Going to the cineplex or staying in and streaming this weekend? Every Thursday morning at 8:15 a.m. you can listen to Mike Schulz dish on recent movie releases & talk smack about Hollywood celebs on Planet 93.9 FM with the fabulous Dave & Darren in the Morning team of Dave Levora and Darren Pitra. The morning crew previews upcoming releases, too.

Or you can check the Reader Web site and listen to their latest conversation by the warm glow of your electronic device. Never miss a pithy comment from these three scintillating pundits again.

Thursday, November 20: Discussion of The Running Man, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Keeper, Nouvelle Vague, Being Eddie, and The Perfect Neighbor, and previews of Wicked: For Good, Rental Family, and Sisu: Road to Revenge. No segment next week, as the guys' audio would be useless given the turkey and stuffing crammed into their mouths. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Eventually, the bubble will no doubt burst, as one does quite memorably toward the end of his latest film. But barring the unrelieved misery wallow that is 2017's The Killing of a Sacred Deer, no one's movies over the past 10 years have tickled and astonished me quite like Yorgos Lanthimos', with the director's new, wickedly entertaining oddity Bugonia much like his others, and also not at all.

Lauded by Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus as "a lively feel-good movie that genuinely charms," the sleeper hit Bend It Like Beckham enjoys a November 13 screening in the Figge Art Museum's Free Film at the Figge series, this breakout for star Keira Knightley also praised by the Los Angele Times for its "impeccable sense of milieu that is the result of knowing the culture intimately enough to poke fun at it while understanding its underlying integrity."
