Movies and TV Shows We’re Thankful For, The Marvels, Next Goal Wins, SAG Strike Ends

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, before we take on The Marvels and Next Goal Wins, it’s the time of year where we all celebrate what we are thankful for, and for many of us, that is entertainment. Therefore, we get a little personal and take a look at some of the movies and TV shows that have truly impacted us, that we are very thankful for. What movies or TV are you most thankful for?

Also on this episode, the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, so we discuss the details of their deal. We review Taika Waititi’s latest film, Next Goal Wins, and then dive into our spoiler review of The Marvels, where we dissect exactly what went right and wrong with Marvel’s newest super-team. Is it a return to form for the MCU, or a colossal miss? You might be surprised with our take…

Next Goal Wins: Story of the American Samoa soccer team, who suffered the worst loss in World Cup history, losing to Australia 31-0 in 2001. With the 2014 World Cup approaching, the team recruits a down on his luck, maverick coach (Fassbender) to help turn their fate around. Starring Michael Fassbender, Kaimana, and Taika Waititi.

The Marvels: Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris, and Samuel L. Jackson.
