Lass is More with Josh Lasser

Focusing on the media, "Lass is More" sits down with the individuals who make the movies and shows that people are, or will be, talking about. The things we watch are not created in a vacuum, but rather as responses to far larger thoughts and issues. From why someone took a role to what it means to them to where they’re going next, we put the pieces of the puzzle together. The "Lass is More" podcast gets to the core of the issue, offering perspective on both the people involved in a project, and the project itself.

There is so much to enjoy in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."  Simu Liu and Awkwafina are great together and there's one really excellent fight.  But, a perfect movie it is not and a lot of its problems are rooted in issues the MCU has been facing for years, from bland villains to overly CG climactic battles.  This week, we discuss.

Cameron Crowe's "Vanilla Sky" doesn't necessarily need Tom Cruise front and center, the actor is great in it, but the movie would undoubtedly be something special even without Tom Cruise.  But, rather than focusing on that, today we look at just how great Tom Cruise is and how great Tom Cruise has been for 40 years.  How could he not be?  He's Tom Cruise and when there's a Tom Cruise in your movie, it's a Tom Cruise movie.

There is a lot of stuff happening in Nia DaCosta's "Candyman."  The movie takes on a whole bunch of weighty ideas and attempts to explore them via the slasher film.  But it's just possible that by trying to fit into that subgenre, and need to not go over 90 minutes, that it loses too much along the way.

Some biopics simply do not do a good job of offering up insight into the person at their center.  "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" is an excellent example of such a film.  It is a movie that doesn't work for multiple reasons.  But, rather than giving away all our insights here in the description, listen to the episode and hear what we have to say.

Halloween may have been last week, but we're squeezing in one last horror movie discussion, even if it is a tad late.  "Scream" arrived in theaters 25 years ago and a new "Scream" will be in theaters next year.  The new one isn't a remake but rather the fourth sequel.  Let us discuss not just terrible naming conventions but the movie that started it all.
