Special guest Abby Olcese joins us for a review of the new horror thriller The Rental, Dave Franco’s directorial debut starring Dan Stevens, Alison Brie, Sheila Vand, and Jeremy Allen White. We also discuss the dramedy Yes, God, Yes starring Natalia Dyer and the recent documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble. Plus we have some discussion about the role of VOD, streaming, and drive-ins as major theatrical releases continue to be delayed this year.

Cinemaholics is my cinematic therapy.
Jon’s clinical dependency on Will isn’t our business.
Yet.
I love the idea of seeing the new Bill and Ted joint at a drive-in. There’s just one within driving distance of me and it’s for sure been pretty packed, but never sold out from what I can tell.
Abby is awesome. She should be on more often!
