Ep958: REBEL MOON PART 1: A CHILD OF FIRE (2023) - Movie Review w/ Armond White
As teased at the end of their Color Purple remake review, Ian and Armond White also talked about Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part 1 - A Child of Fire!
In this brief review (more to come later this year, once Part 2 comes out), Armond explains why the Watchmen director's take on the Star Wars mythos is one of his favorite films of 2023--and why he's never held George Lucas' pop-defining franchise in high esteem!
The guys also touch on DC, Marvel, and the lack of true "cinema" in the blockbuster marketplace.
