"The Snowman"
For this week's main review, we are joined by David Hart who does the podcast Pop Culture Case Study as he and I discuss one of the worst films of the year, "The Snowman" starring Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Val Kilmer & J.K. Simmons. This is from the same director (Tomas Alfredson) who gave us "Let The Right One In" and "Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy" and even he has distanced himself from the film. Never a good sign. Take a listen as we sharpen our knives for this one. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
