We Love Anora, Hugh Grant, and Tony Todd

I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast

This episode of the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast is a celebration of love for memorable movies and iconic performances. We review two exciting new films and pay tribute to a legendary horror actor.

Anora Directed by Sean Baker Starring Mikey Madison

This week, we dive into Anora, a striking film from Sean Baker. Mikey Madison shines as Anora, a Brooklyn sex worker who finds herself in a modern-day Cinderella story after marrying the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. But just as her dreams seem within reach, the fairytale turns dark when his family arrives from Russia, determined to end the marriage.

Heretic Directed by Beck and Woods Starring Hugh Grant

Next up, Heretic takes us into suspenseful and sinister territory. Hugh Grant plays the enigmatic Mr. Reed, a twisted character who traps two young missionaries in his home, forcing them into a deadly game of survival. It’s a thrilling tale of faith, fear, and resilience.

Classic: Candyman Directed by Bernard Rose Starring Tony Todd

In tribute, we remember Tony Todd, who passed away in 2024. Known best for his chilling performance as Candyman, Todd’s legacy in horror cinema is unparalleled. His imposing presence, unforgettable voice, and dedication to his craft have left an indelible mark on fans and filmmakers alike. R.I.P. Tony Todd (1954–2024).
