Echo Chamber - 229
We have a jam packed edition of EchoChamberFP for you this week!!!
There's a couple of Prime Video exclusives, a new Netflix joint. Then Creator+ & Signature Entertainment bring us a new take on the teen drama. And we close with another 'Special Presentation' from Marvel Studios for Disney+.
'The People We Hate at the Wedding' is an adaptation of Grant Ginder book of the same name, directed by Claire Scanlon and written by Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin & Wendy Molyneux. Dysfunctional American siblings Alice (Kristen Bell) and Paul (Ben Platt) along with their ever-optimistic mom (Allison Janney), are invited to the British wedding of their estranged half-sister Eloise (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) as a chance for them to reconnect as – more or less – adults, and learn to love each other like they once did.
'Meet Cute' is directed by Alex Lehmann and written by Noga Pnueli. When Sheila (Kaley Cuoco) and Gary (Pete Davidson) meet, its love at first sight - until we realize their magical date wasn’t fate at all. Sheila’s got a time machine, and they've been falling in love over and over again. But when the perfect night is never quite enough, Sheila travels to Gary’s past to change him into the perfect man.
'Lesson Plan (aka Plan lekcji)' is directed by Daniel Markowicz and written by Daniel Bernardi. After a teacher tragically dies, his friend, who happens to be a former cop, takes over his old job in hopes of catching the people responsible for his murder.
'Diamond in the Rough' is directed by Jeannette Godoy and written by Grace Church, Crystal Ferreiro & James Sommers. After the death of her parents, Ariana (Samantha Boscarino) is struggling to navigate the situation, until her Tio (Carlos Lacamara) treats her to a seasonal membership at his swanky country club. But Ariana soon learns that life among the wealthy and golf-obsessed is a lot like being back in high school: cliques abound, mean girls everywhere, and only the richest kids get to call the shots. Will the country club change Ariana--or will it be the other way around?
'The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special' is written & directed by James Gunn. Mantis (Pom Klementieff) & Drax (David Bautista), are on a mission to make Christmas unforgettable for Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), so head to Earth in search of the perfect present.
