Episode Synopsis
Text Matt & Adam!We watched a couple of chess movies. "Fresh" (1994) is a film about a teenager who takes lessons he learned from the chess board to help him survive the streets of NYC. He's always 3 or 4 steps ahead. John Leguizamo's "Critical Thinking" (2020) tells a true story about a high school chess team from Miami win chess tournaments. The direction, cast and tight screenplay help it go beyond a schmalzy feel-good story.Next, what a weekend with "The Lost Weekend" (1945) and "Rachel Getting Married" (2008)Have your own recommendations?
