#671: A Wrinkle in Time / Filmspotting Madness (Round 2)




Filmspotting show

Summary: It's been a week since their review of "Annihilation," but it feels like Adam and Josh never quite escaped The Shimmer. Ava DuVernay's visually adventurous adaptation of the beloved (and "unfilmable") sci-fi/fantasy kids novel shares some of the apocalyptic themes of Alex Garland's film - as well as some of its ability to confound. While agreeing that DuVernay managed to make something personal out of her 100-million-dollar, effects-driven film, they disagree about just how successful that something is. Plus, Filmspotting Madness: Best of the '90s opening round results and second round matchups.    <br><br>0:00-2:08 - Intro<br>4:42-22:13 - Review: "A Wrinkle in Time"<br><em>Shannon and the Clams, "The Boy"</em><br>24:53-32:05 - Oscars Recap / Next Week / Notes<br>32:05-50:15 - Filmspotting Madness: Round 2 <br><em>Jonathan Richman, "There's Something About Mary"<br></em>51:29-1:21:36 - Filmspotting Madness: Round 2, cont<br>1:21:36-1:24:24 - Close / Hot Mics
