‘Ballerina,’ ‘Bring Her Back,’ and ‘Dogma’ Reborn, With Kevin Smith!!!

Sean and Amanda are joined by Chris Ryan to discuss their disappointment with the newest installment in the John Wick franchise, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2:08). Next, they cover the second horror feature film from the Philippou brothers with the deeply upsetting Bring Her Back and explain why it was an interesting follow-up to their first feature, Talk to Me (25:45). Then, they revisit Kevin Smith’s 1999 classic, Dogma, and share everything they loved about it when they first watched it and all of the things that have aged so well since then (37:00). Finally, Sean is joined by Kevin Smith for the first time to discuss the rerelease of Dogma. They discuss why it has been so difficult to access the rights to the movie, talk about what made Smith’s return to the Cannes Film Festival so special, and share a myriad of incredible stories across his entire filmmaking career (51:19).
