Our film critic Emma Jones tells us why the Oscar buzz surrounding Dwayne Johnson's performance in "The Smashing Machine" is deserved and how the film deviates from the average "in the ring" biopic. We also discuss Jeremy Allen White's turn as Bruce Springsteen in director Scott Cooper's "Deliver Me From Nowhere", which zooms in on a difficult period in The Boss's career. We then discover a new talent in Laura Carreira, who's captured the precarity of the gig economy and the weight of loneliness in "On Falling", a social study with shades of Ken Loach. Plus we check out Guillermo del Toro's take on the monstrous "Frankenstein", starring Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac, as he revisits the gothic tale in his own unique style.
