TRON: ARES, BLACK PHONE 2, GOOD FORTUNE & RIEFENSTAHL - Cinegeek Movie Review Round-Up | Cinegeeks Podcast Ep. 117

We're clearing out our watchlist with a massive movie round-up! This week, we're catching up on four of the most talked-about films of the moment, and they could not be more different.

First, we plug back into the grid with TRON: Ares. Is this long-awaited sequel a stunning audio-visual masterpiece powered by a Nine Inch Nails score, or is it all style and no substance?

Next, we answer the call for Black Phone 2. The franchise takes a huge swing, moving from contained psychological horror to a full-blown supernatural slasher. Does this new direction work, or should The Grabber have stayed on the line?

Then, we lighten the mood with Aziz Ansari's directorial debut, Good Fortune. With a high-concept "life-swap" plot and a cast featuring Keanu Reeves as an inept angel, Seth Rogen, and Ansari himself, is this the charming comedy of the year?

Finally, we tackle a heavy one: the German documentary RIEFENSTAHL. We discuss this complex, challenging portrait of Leni Riefenstahl—Hitler's infamous propagandist filmmaker—and the new archival material that dismantles her lifelong "apolitical artist" myth.

Join us as we break down what's worth your time (and what isn't) in our latest episode!
