James McAvoy and director James Watkins sit down with us this week to discuss the making of their new thriller “Speak No Evil.” McAvoy shares the one thing from Stephen King’s IT that he wanted to include in the movie, but was politely declined. Watkins and McAvoy detail the process of working with child actors on a horror movie, why horror movies don’t get the recognition they deserve and more.
After the interview, we review "Speak No Evil," and Sean gives his spoiler-free reactions to “Joker: Folie à Deux” (starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga). And finally, you must go see “Strange Darling” if it’s playing near you, and don’t forget to see "Rebel Ridge” on Netflix.
