For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Emilia Perez (2024), a Mexican LGBT musical about a drug-cartel boss who wants to retire and transition into living as a woman. A corrupt lawyer helps her facilitate this goal, and a whole lot of singing and dancing follows from there. Despite receiving 13 Oscar nominations, the film currently sits at an abysmal 2.3 average user score on Letterboxd. Why the discrepancy? I guess we’ll find out. Director is Jacques Audiard, the French guy behind the prison gangster film A Prophet (2009), which we previously watched.
Next is Scream 2 (1997), Wes Craven’s sequel to his smash-hit slasher from the year before. Sydney’s struggle against Ghostman has now been adapted into a major motion picture, Stab, and a new Ghostface starts to mimic the events depicted in the film. Yes, they added an extra meta-layer this time. Looks pretty neat.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
