We — and by that I mean The Royal We — have a great cross-section of movies to talk about this week on the What the Flick?! Podcast. First off, Alonso, Matt and I review “Mary Queen of Scots,” with a pair of powerhouse performances from Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. We also discuss the addiction drama “Ben Is Back,” the pop-music satire “Vox Lux,” Italy’s mesmerizing “Happy as Lazzaro,” and a couple of documentaries about game-changers in “Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes,” and the Aretha Franklin concert film “Amazing Grace.” And in movie news, we discuss Kevin Hart’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it tenure as host of the Academy Awards, as well as this week’s Golden Globe nominations, which is always a topic we enjoy. (Alonso just loves talking about film awards.) We are not amused — but we hope you will be.

Thanks, Tom!
Major announcements coming in 2019?? Does that mean you guys are coming back with a Youtube channel? Please, please please! Really miss the old WTF channel…looked forward to watching it every week.

Christy, since this redirects the user away from your website, if only temporarily, you may not want me to do this. If so, just let me know.
After listening to your podcast (great work, you guys, really good discussions … better than when you were on WTF’s tighter schedule), popped over to Amazon to watch Divide and Conquer. Just couldn’t cough up $6.99 for the privilege. It’s Christmas. Will wait till it’s free. In the meantime, Merry Christmas to you, WhatTheFlickers. Thanks for keeping the party going. Y’all rock.
Thanks Jozie, and likewise!
I can’t find you on any platforms except here? Love your chit-chat!
