About this episode

The episode features reviews of the new Scary Movie reboot and Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers, along with discussions on various film discoveries.

Guess who’s back? Well, not Simon Miraudo, who’s away on special assignment, but Tristan Fidler, Laura Blundell and Brekky host Pamela Boland for a brand new instalment of Movie Squad! First up this week is the “reboot-i-quel” of Scary Movie, reuniting Anna Faris, Regina Hall and select members of the Wayans family. Does it live up to the long, proud legacy of the Scary Movie spoof series? Or is this one maybe not good? Then, Tristan and Laura share their thoughts on Steven Soderbergh’s latest caper, The Christophers, starring Ian McKellen as a famed artist and Michaela Coel as a young, antagonistic protege. Both films are now in cinemas! Stay tuned for a pod exclusive chat in which Laura shares some of new-to-her discoveries, including John Waters’ Serial Mom, the political satire Bob Roberts and the surreal Kristen Wiig comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!
