In this episode, our team of global writers are joined by Taylor Baker (host and creator of Drink in the Movies) as we discuss whether Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s comeback film 7500 successfully overcomes the tired racist tropes seen in hijacking films, the intriguing creation of Martin Scorsese and Josephine Decker’s new indie film Shirley (starting Elizabeth Moss), and the feminist relevance of Eliza Hitmans’ Never Rarely Sometimes Always from the 2020 Berlin Film Festival
