”Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” and ”A Good Person”

It helps if you have a background as a gamer in watching "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," but HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano basically found it visually diverting enough to hold their attention. In this podcast episode, they observe that it is fun watching dragons, wizards, druids, sorcerers and other things they don't encounter in their daily lives, and it's also enjoyable to watch actors including Chris Pine and Hugh Grant. Marie and Mike also discuss a very different movie, "A Good Person," whose story about the drug-addicted survivor of a disastrous car accident is convincingly depicted and for that very reason often difficult to watch. Strong performances by Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman anchor this redemption-oriented drama.
