In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss "The Whale," in which Brendan Fraser is receiving considerable media attention for his subtle performance as an obese and depressed man confined to his apartment. They agree that this screen adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter's 2012 play is right to keep its claustrophobia intact and not cinematically open it up, and so they caution prospective viewers to be prepared for the presentation of serious dramatic issues within a confined space. Marie and Mike also discuss the musical biopic about Whitney Houston, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," which they both really enjoy. British actress Naomi Ackie does not physically resemble the late American singer and, moreover, has her voice dubbed with Whitney Houston's for the actual singing, but she gives a totally convincing performance as the troubled star. And there is a first-rate supporting performance by Stanley Tucci as record company executive Clive Davis.
