Halloween Special: Horror in 2024

In our last review before the holidays, our team decided to step inside the courtroom for the Max release of Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2. While serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, a family man finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma, one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict or free the wrong killer. The film stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, and J.K. Simmons. Listen Here:SpotifyApple PodcastsAll Listening PlatformsChapter Timestamps:0:00:00 Introduction0:06:04 Initial Thoughts0:14:58 Spoiler Review1:14:40 Oscars Assessment1:19:11 Final RatingsFollow our team online:Danny Jarabek Website, Letterboxd, Instagram, Bluesky, X, TikTok, and LinktreeRed Broadwell on Letterboxd, X, and InstagramBryan Sudfield on Letterboxd, Instagram, X, and Life Moves Pretty FastFilms mentioned:Letterboxd listResources:Juror #2 Review by Landon DefeverHave questions?
