We know we just gave you our A24 Trailerspective, but since this is our 24th episode and Woman Walks Ahead moved us on so many levels we thought, why not another one from A24.  Molly's Game was our first podcast and now we have Jessica Chastain in another powerful female lead role.  Sam Rockwell can add his Academy Award Winning credentials to this one to boost the casting cred!

Here is the portrait of Sitting Bull on which this movie is based. 

We Are #Venom. 10.5.18 One of Marvel's most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.

In one day the Venom trailer amassed 14 million views on the official site and anywhere from 1 million to 10 million across other youtube channels. Jimmy will probably pass on this movie while Ted is giddy with excitement, to say the least, when he learned they cast Tom Hardy.

Opening in theaters June 8th Directed by: Silas Howard Starring: Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, Amy Landecker & Ann Dowd Brooklyn parents Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are lucky to have a kid like Jake. Their four-year-old is bright, precocious, creative-and just happens to prefer Disney princesses to toy cars and skirts to jeans.

Our third trailer for this week is a true story about A Kid Like Jake.  After repeated viewing, this trailer, and subsequent movie, felt more like it is telling a story of a modern struggle in parenting (a recurring theme TJP seems to be visiting regularly).  This brings the star talent you've come to expect within much different roles.  Jim Parsons and Claire Danes give a refreshing performance reminding casting directors they both have a range beyond what they are known for. 

Lastly, as Jim and Ted go long on their feelings about formalized schooling. Here is Ted's book recommendation, My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and here is Jimmy's favorite TED Talk (besides his weekly talk with Ted).

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
