Roeper's Reviews: Spend or Save?
Film critic Richard Roeper then joined Warner and Chiaverini to talk about recent releases on screen and on streaming platforms.
'Nickel Boys' - Spend
Roeper started off with a positive review of a creative new historical drama, set in the segregated South in the 1960s. The film, "Nickel Boys," is based on the 2019 Pulitzer Prize winning novel by author Colson Whitehead. It was inspirted by a Florida reform school, called the Dozier School for Boys, which was well-known for its abusive treatment of students.
'Lockerbie: The Search for Truth' - Spend
Roeper continued with another good review of a limited dramatic series based on a famous real life incident - the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, a transatlantic flight from London to New York, which was destroyed by explosives while flying over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members. Colin Firth stars as a father whose daughter was among the victims on the flight.
'Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action' - Spend
Roeper also praised a new two-part Netflix documentary about the notorious and influential "Jerry Springer Show," which was based in Chicago from 1992 to 2009, when the Windy City was home to numerous daytime talk shows. Springer's fight-heavy talk show was a phenomenon by the late 1990s, even overtaking Oprah Winfrey's Chicago-based syndicated show for a period of time.
