Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast! On the latest episode of The Flixters we bring you a review of The Card Counter, directed by Paul Schrader (writer of Taxi Driver) and starring Oscar Isaac (Star War: The Force Awakens). In it Oscar plays an ex-con turned card counter who travels city to city playing poker. In what is arguably Isaac’s best performance to date, The Card Counter is less about Poker and more about the people who play it. And this makes it a must-watch film. Check out the show for more deets! We also review Sandra Bullock’s latest, The Unforgivable. A hard-hitting Netflix exclusive, in which Bullock plays ‘Ruth Slater’, an ex-con released from prison for a violent crime. Trying to put her life back together and mend the relationships she left behind, Ruth struggles with the gravity of her past choices and has to overcome what life throws at her. Wanna know more? You know what to do! And over on Anniversary Corner we look back at Lucky You (2012). Over on Hidden Gems we’ve got a twisted, body-horror/thriller from Spain called Dos (Two). Two strangers wake up together naked in bed. The problem? They’re stuck together from their abdomens. Download the show to find what we thought. And if that wasn’t enough for you we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.
