  "Warrior": Films of 2011 + "Practical Magic 2"

  Sep 16, 20261h 22m

  Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011’s “Warrior”. Gavin O’Connor’s film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks. Maybe wine or margaritas for the witch film, and whiskey and/or coffee (for our non-drinkers) for the MMA film. Grab a drink and join us! inktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!
