And that\u2019s bad ass for me personally. Not only because I am a fair weather fan in the most literal sense, but also because that means it\u2019s festival season babyyyyy!!!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, like always, we start the Chicago festival season off right with the Chicago Critics Film Festival at the ICONIC Music Box theater. It\u2019s a great fest with an ever-amazing lineup, and just like every year, we\u2019ve got the organizer and fellow critic Erik Childress to come on and chat with us! We\u2019re getting the hot takes on what to look out for and get most excited about for the upcoming fest!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We\u2019ve also got something of a review-o-rama on our hands. Anything over 2 reviews is officially classified, and boy howdy do we have more than two! We\u2019re doing Lee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy (yes that is the actual title and yes we will discuss that). We also have the new Bob Odenkirk action flick Nobody!!\u2026 or wait\u2026 Nobody 2!!!\u2026 hang on\u2026 I\u2019m checking the notes and it looks like it\u2019s actually called Normal. Either way, we\u2019re reviewing it. And for our final review, this one\u2019s gotta have a stellar title. Or, honestly, I\u2019ll take a title that\u2019s just unoffensive to my sensibilities. And hey, would you look at that; it is! The last one is Keanu\u2019s new diet to streaming movie: Outcome!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You know it. You love it. It\u2019s some classic CinemaJaw guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Love<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">-KP<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">P.S. Here\u2019s the link to the Chicago Critics Film Fest website and tickets!! Come on by and see something good! Maybe even see me and Ryan \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagocriticsfilmfestival.com\/films\">https:\/\/www.chicagocriticsfilmfestival.com\/films<\/a><\/p>\n<p
