Sort of an exciting week for Practically Culture: we get to explore (what we call) the Jon Hamm effect with the movie Beirut. Is it in effect here? Just what IS the Hamm effect?? You better listen and find out! Bob mini reviews Blockers. Logan mini reviews The End of the F***ing World. In weekend picks, Logan talks up Westworld. Bob mentions I Feel Pretty, Super Troopers 2, and Ghost Stories. I Feel Pretty might be the pick. You know, maybe. Let's rock! Follow us on Twitter: @LoganBeaux and @BobCaswell
It's Atomic Blonde day! We give it the ol' Practically Culture full review. It all comes down to Charlize Theron: does she hold the movie together despite its weaknesses? Logan and Bob don't fully agree. Have a listen! Choose a side! Logan mini reviews Lady Macbeth. Bob mini reviews Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. In weekend picks, Logan brings up Ray Donovan. Not so much as a recommendation, but for Practically Culture old times' sake. Bob talks about The Dark Tower, Detroit, Wind River, and Kidnap, but can't quite decide. Keep it locked on Twitter for the final selection. Let's rock!
