Echo Chamber - 199
@EchoChamberFP takes a look at a couple of Netflix joints this week! First up is a new instalment in the 'adult at high school' genre. Then we close with a look at what it takes to be an Olympian!!!
'Senior Year' is directed by Alex Hardcastle and written by Andrew Knauer, Arthur Pielli, Brandon Scott Jones. A cheerleading stunt gone wrong landed Stephanie Conway (Rebel Wilson) in a 20-year coma. Now she's 37, newly awake, and ready to live out her high school dream: becoming prom queen.
'The Wall: Climb for Gold' is directed by Nick Hardie. Four female climbers face the sporting challenge of a lifetime as they attempt to compete in the first ever climbing competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The Wall - Climb for Gold follows four elite climbers, Janja Garnbret, Shauna Coxsey, Brooke Raboutou, and Miho Nonaka, over an extraordinary two years. They battle through Olympic qualifying events to earn their place at Tokyo, then face a gruelling season of competition and training that sees everything put on hold when the Covid-19 pandemic forces the Games to be postponed.
