Episode # 407 Woman of the Hour with Montana Woodruff and Tommy Pullen
Montana Woodruff (Women in Film and TV) and Tommy Pullen join Flixwatcher to review Montana’s choice Woman of the Hour.
Woman of the Hour (2023) is the directorial debut from Anna Kendrick and is based on the true crime story of serial killer and sex offender Rodney Alcala. The plot alternates between aspiring actress Sheryl (Anna Kendrick) as she navigates sexism and harassment in 1978 while trying to secure acting roles and Alcala’s known murders from 1971 to 1979. On her agents advice she takes up the opportunity to be a contestant on The Dating Game, also a contestant is Rodney Alcala, a serial killer hiding in plain sight.
Woman of the Hour is a confident debut from Anna Kendrick, she sensitively handles the rape and extreme violence that Alcala inflicted on his victims. Recommendability scores for Woman of the Hour were very high, however, despite its 94 minutes runtime it scored low on repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.81.

Episode # 406 Hit Man with Cheyenne Bart-Stewart and Amon Warmann
Cheyenne Bart-Stewart (Little White Lies, Moviemarker) and Amon Warmann (Fade to Black podcast, Empire Magazine, Talk Sport) return to Flixwatcher to review Cheyenne’s choice Hit Man.
Hit Man (2023) is a romantic crime comedy, directed by Richard (Boyhood) Linklater, written by Linklater and Glen Powell, who stars as Gary. It is loosely based on on the true story of a college professor who worked for the Houston police in the late 1980s and 1990s as a fake hitman, as described in a 2001 magazine article by Skip Hollandsworth.
A philosophy professor, Gary Johnson, moonlights for the police by posing as a fake hitman to catch people hiring assassins. He adopts elaborate personas, but when he meets a desperate woman, Madison, he falls for her and starts blurring the lines between his real self and his "Ron" alter-ego, leading to unexpected trouble.
Hit Man is a lot of fun and scored very highly on recommendability from Flixwatcher and guests to score 4.03 overall.
