Nick D – Movie Reviews, CIFF, and Kevin Bacon’s See-Thru Wiener

Nick and fellow film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy discuss the 60th annual Chicago International Film Festival (CIFF) and review some of the films they saw at the fest. They also share their thoughts on new releases, including Conclave , the award-winning Anora , the latest Marvel sequel Venom: The Last Dance , and the animated film Memoir of a Snail . Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about weddings, Halloween, and scary movies like In a Violent Nature and Hollow Man , which traumatized Esma thanks to the multiple appearances of Kevin Bacon’s see-through wiener. They also take a quick culinary trip around Italy and taste a couple of cool snacks. [Ep292]
