West Side Stories, ‘Red Rocket‘, and ‘The Power of the Dog‘

Remake cynicism begone, Steven Spielberg's retelling of West Side Story is pretty damn good. The titan filmmaker managed to inject some classic Spielberg Magic™ into the musical that we've been missing in film for some time, which often helps the film overcome some of its plot and character issues. Brennan and Nick talk about what worked, how it compares to the 1961 original, and why Ansel Elgort is a major shrug at best.

Elsewhere, Nick discusses why he loves Red Rocket and its reprehensible lead character, and they both take some time to gush about Jane Campion and The Power of the Dog.
