If there really is an "urban legend" out there it's "Shaft." The original was a gritty urban thriller with a wah-wah pedal sountrack that's unforgetable and starred Richard Roundtree. This new one stars Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie T. Usher as well as Richard Roundtree and it's an action/comedy. Does that work in this day and age? Will you miss the grit? Then we've got "The Dead Don't Die" which has a remarkable cast including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi and Danny Glover. And it's directed by Jim Jarmusch. Can a movie with such a cast miss? And then we've got "Late Night" with the very busy Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling. It takes place in the world of late-night talk shows which is a favorite topic of Neil's. And finally Neil takes on the Tony Awards show which took place in New York last Sunday. It awards Broadway shows (mostly based on movies these days) which no one who live in New York can actually afford to see. At least not the person who writes this description. Could this show about awarding shows be fun to watch? Listen in!
