John and Max talk about female directors with guest Charlie Nash from the Boston Online Film Critics Association. With new films such as Queen of Katwe, American Honey, and 13TH coming out there is no better time. Directors such as Ava DuVernay, Claire Denis, Chantal Akerman, Amy Heckerling, and Kathryn Bigelow are among the women highlighted for discussion.
We're also talking about the New York Film Festival and the new Lion King adaptation coming out. Our trailer of the week is Ava DeVernay's 13TH.
