This week, Amon speaks to Cynthia Erivo about her lead role in the British indie drama DRIFT (10:47), and we review the film (23:45). We also talk about the psychological drama MOTHERS’ INSTINCT starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain (38:18), and DISCO BOY featuring Passages star Franz Rogowski (57:55).


Plus, in our HOT TAKE (01:11:28), with recent layoffs of critics at LA Times, Uproxx, and Vanity Fair, we ask if criticism is in crisis.
