Movie Review: Promising Young Woman

This week on End Credits, things are going to get especially disturbing. Our review this week is an Oscar-nominee, and a timely one at that. We’re going to talk about Promising Young Woman, and there’s so much to talk about with this movie. For a bit of fun though, we’re going to kick off the first part of the show on a theme with a list of revenge movies.

Movie Review: To All The Boys: Always and Forever

This week on End Credits, it may be March, but we’re still in the mood for love. Our movie this week will take us back to high school and the difficult balancing act of school, romance, and the future. We’re reviewing To All the Boys: Always and Forever, and we’re also going to talk about another love affair, Hollywood’s love of affirmation through the awarding of gold statues.
