Echo Chamber - 204
We have three shiny new films on this week's EchoChamberFP A legend in the animation field brings us a new Shudder original. Then Lionsgate & Hulu have a new film about a woman and an escort. AND, we finish with the new Apple TV+ joint from a rising star director!
'Mad God' is directed & written by Phil Tippett. Follow The Assassin through a forbidding world of tortured souls, decrepit bunkers, and wretched monstrosities forged from the most primordial horrors of the subconscious mind.
'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande' is directed by Sophie Hyde and written by Katy Brand. Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson) is a retired widow, seeking romance and excitement after a boring marriage. She hires a good-looking young sex worker called Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack), in the hope of enjoying a night of pleasure and self-discovery.
'Cha Cha Real Smooth' is the second feature from Cooper Raiff who also wrote the piece! Fresh out of college and stuck at his New Jersey home without a clear path forward, 22-year-old Andrew (Cooper Raiff) begins working as a party starter for bar/bat mitzvahs—where he strikes up a unique friendship with Domino (Dakota Johnson) a young mom and her teenage daughter, Lola (Vanessa Burghardt). And he finally discovers a future he wants – even if it might not be his own.
