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.

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.
