In Episode 127 below, we review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Collateral Beauty. Pee talk takes an unexpected, yet movie-related turn at the start of this week’s episode. Once we dispense with our bathroom discussion, we move on to the Boston Online Film Critics Association’s yearly awards, which were recently announced to the public. We quickly walk through our ballots (at 4:37), mentioning our favorite films that didn’t win, exploring the nuances of their votes, and teasing movies like Fences that we look forward to discussing in future episodes. After the awards excitement, Kris reviews Collateral Beauty (at 28:00), a picture that sounds like an emo side project, where the filmmakers couldn’t decide between making an awards movie or a Christmas movie, so they made both and got something awful. With that out of the way, Dave and I take on this week’s big release, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (at 44:00), a prequel that doesn’t have much in common with other entries in the Star Wars franchise. It has a diverse cast of skilled actors, deaths with weight, and a director that cares about framing shots, however Dave and I don’t think it deserves the hype from critics.
