HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss "Downton Abbey: A New Era" in this podcast episode. Marie is a fan of the "Downton Abbey" TV series, its spinoff 2019 feature film and this latest feature film, while Mike is more lukewarm about what he terms cinematic comfort food. Even Mike concedes, though, that it is enjoyable watching its characters squabble in such a wonderful English mansion. "Downton Abbey: A New Era" brings that traditional upstairs/downstairs dynamic into the modern age of the late 1920s. Marie and Mike are in more complete agreement about another English film, "Men," which they both actively dislike. Jessie Buckley plays a troubled woman who rents a rural cottage and promptly finds herself subjected to all sorts of horror movie cliches. "Men" piles on the mythological references and bizarre special effects, but just seems arbitrary and desperate to jolt the audience.
