The one where we review American Fiction

The Flixters - A podcast by The Flixters - Mondays

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast! On this week’s show, we review the comedy-drama American Fiction starring the brilliant Jeffrey Wright (The Batman). Here, Wright plays Thelonious ‘Monk’ Ellison, a struggling writer unable to make waves in the literary world. Forced to spend more time in his native Boston, Monk, under a pseudonym, finds unlikely success by writing a satirical, cliché novel littered with tropes from Black writers. And that’s when the real problems begin.  Check out the show for our thoughts.  On Anniversary Corner we look back at I, Robot (2004). And on Hidden Gem, we have The Artifice Girl.  And if that wasn’t enough for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.  Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!  00:00 Intro  02:45 Shoutouts 05:34 Movie News 12:53 New on Streaming 18:15 New Trailers 26:11 Anniversary Corner 30:42 American Fiction review 36:04 The Artifice Girl (Hidden Gem) 44:21 Outro
