Episode 28: Kids Movies, Ava DuVernay, and ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ with Drea Clark, Katie Walsh, and Maggie Mackay

Episode notes

A Wrinkle in TimeWe’ve got a very special episode this week as Alonso Duralde takes over hosting duties. He’s joined by film critic for Tribune News Service and the LA Times, Katie Walsh, Vidiots Executive Director/Board Chair, Maggie Mackay, and our dear friend, producer and film festival programmer, Drea Clark. They break down the much discussed A Wrinkle in Time. They address the blowback the film has received, what they really liked about it, and the revolutionary nature of having a protagonist that is a woman of color. They also discuss kids movies in general and some of their favorites. In fact, a fight nearly breaks out over whether The NeverEnding Story is actually a good movie. PLUS, April Wolfe calls in from South by Southwest to give everyone an update.

In news, psychologist Jordan Peterson hates Frozen, Tommy Wiseau auditions for The Joker, production companies start adopting inclusion riders, and the man who stole Frances McDormand’s Oscar pleads not guilty.

Weekly Movie Recommendations:

Alonso – Ramen Heads
Drea – No Light and No Land Anywhere
Katie – American Honey
