In Episode 229 below, we review At Eternity’s Gate, Crazy Rich Asians, A Star is Born, and Can You Ever Forgive Me? Kris recounts a bizarre run-in he had some naked bike riders in college before he and I put on our critic hats this week. Dave is still on paternity leave, but he didn’t let that stop him from recording a special update about what he has been doing and the movies he has been watching. Buckle up for some “Riedel’s Recaps” baby! Kris leads off the main show with a half review of At Eternity’s Gate (8:55), the Willem Dafoe Vincent Van Gogh picture that he was really getting into before recording the show. Then I serve up a “Crewind” where I talk about Crazy Rich Asians (17:20), which I liked a lot, and A Star is Born (20:43), which I absolutely hated. After Kris and I spend some time dissecting exactly why I hated it, we tackle this week’s main film, Can You Ever Forgive Me? (27:53), an entertaining Melissa McCarthy drama based on a true story. Its direction is terrific, McCarthy is fantastic, and the unusual friendship at the movie’s center is a joy to watch.
