If we’re honest with ourselves, the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens looks better than the original Star Wars movies. That’s how this week’s Voice Film Club podcast opens, with your hosts Alan Scherstuhl and Stephanie Zacharek of the
Village Voice and Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly. Talk then turns to Reese Witherspoon’s excellent performance in Wild, and then to director Jennifer Kent’s spectacular, terrifying new film The Babadook. The group wraps by recommending a few underrated or under-seen films: Zero Motivation, Concerning Violence, and Life Partners. Amy closes the show with a recap of her interview with Garfield creator Jim Davis, who finally settles it: does Jon ever actually hear Garfield, or is Jon just talking to himself?
