Because the entire movie industry has decided that the first weekend in December is a dumping ground of some kind, we have the exact same top five at the box office this week as we did last, and the fates of these films have not changed much. 'Frozen II" continues to be a juggernaut, 'Knives Out' is very successful, and 'Ford v Ferrari', 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood', and 'Queen and Slim' are all still finding their audiences. (And 'Playmobil: The Movie' opened to record lows, which everyone saw coming.)
But the big story this weekend was 'Marriage Story' dropping on Netflix to rave reviews and much discourse, as well as Amazon Studios making a bid with 'The Aeronauts', which is a movie that exists.
After covering those films, Brennan and Nick look at The Critics' Choice Awards nominees, offering their opinions on what the nominations might mean for the Oscar race.
All this and more on this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!
