201 - Didi is a Must-Watch & A Minecraft Movie Trailer looks horrible
In the first post-Venice episode, Ewan and Lachlan catch up on all the news and trailers that came out while they were off. Most notably, the baffling A Minecraft Movie Trailer. The trailers for Wolf Man, The Apprentice & Happyend look more promising. They discuss the Venice & TIFF festival winners and why Gen Z doesn't like Sex in Movies. Finally, the Sundance hit Didi is out digitally and they have a lot of praise for the authentic coming-of-age story set in the late 2000s.
