In this episode of The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast, I dive into Eleanor The Great, Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut. This heartfelt drama stars June Squibb, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Erin Kellyman, and Rita Zohar.
I share my thoughts on the story, themes of grief and friendship, and how Scarlett’s direction delivers an emotional experience without relying on big effects. Plus, I highlight an MCU connection between Scarlett, Ejiofor, and Kellyman that Marvel fans will enjoy.
If you’re into spoiler reviews, movie breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes insights, you’ll want to stick around for this one.
