We also explore Apple's cautious content direction, comparing it with bold productions like "Severance," and offer our take on the 2013 mockumentary "The Conspiracy."Shifting gears, we critique Channing Tatum's latest rom-com, where his lack of chemistry with his co-star and a bizarre historical fiction twist left us scratching our heads. Scarlett Johansson's role as a marketing guru during Nixon's presidency adds another layer of intrigue, though the film's misleading marketing and uneven execution are hard to overlook. We also share a laugh over a moviegoer's mix-up involving "Long Legs."
