The Film Board Gathers! This month it’s all about everybody’s favorite murderbot who just can stop with the hand-washing: M3GAN! Just what is it that attracts (most) of us to this James Wan-Blumhouse mash-up of mechanical malignancy? Is it the incredible performance of humans behind the machine? Is it Allison Williams playing less racist, but still pretty oblivious? Or is it the reclamation of scares from horror-satire and rejiggering them for jumps today? 

Pete Wright hosts Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Justin Jaeger, and Tommy Metz III for a rousing conversation with a number of threads left unresolved — just like this script!

About the show

The Film Board gathers a rotating panel of film lovers from across The Next Reel Family to dig into a movie that just hit theaters. No tiptoeing around the ending, no "we won't spoil anything." Full spoilers, strong opinions, and the kind of argument you wish you could have with the friends you saw the movie with.
