June 2019 introduces a new theme geared to take advantage of all those streaming subscriptions that so many people pay for, but maybe don't utilize quite enough. Simply put, Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) picked the movies for this month from one of the streaming services (although it seems we just used Amazon Prime) to watch movies that at least one of them had never seen before. There are tons of movies to choose from, but the four listed below are what they landed on.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
Week 2 - What They Had (2018)
Jonathan picked a more recent movie that he missed last year and is also currently streaming on Prime; What They Had (2018). Written and directed by Elizabeth Chomko, the movie follows Bridget (Hilary Swank) who returns home at the request of her brother, Nick (Michael Shannon), to help with their mother (Blythe Danner) and father (Robert Forster). The cast alone was enough to make this choice, but the trailer for the film didn't hurt either.
