In their 700th episode, Sean and Amanda discuss news that the Brad Pitt and George Clooney vehicle Wolfs will have a one-week limited theatrical release before moving to streaming, then talk about a slightly deranged combination of films this week (0:45). First up, they dive into Sing Sing, a deeply moving prison drama starring Colman Domingo about a small group of prisoners attempting to stage a theatrical production (11:53). Then, they transition to the bizarre and controversial Colleen Hoover adaptation It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (28:11). Finally, Sean is joined by Sing Sing director Greg Kwedar to discuss how this extraordinary film came together, casting formerly incarcerated actors, the unusual rollout of the film, and more (1:08:45).
