We also go over the sound and scale of this film, alongside a discussion on if that scale is accessible and who takes the responsibility for it. Lastly we talk about the performances. from an absolutely packed cast and how they each fit into the film. </p><p><br></p><p>🎬 Watch the trailer: </p><p><br></p><p><a href='https://youtu.be/f_bKjZeJBBI?is=MJM-r5tnRetNc4Zd'>The Odyssey | Official Trailer</a></p><p><br></p><p>📲 Follow & listen: <a href='linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast'>linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast</a></p><p><br></p>

<p>In this week's episode, we take a break from the summer release and cover two films that went under the radar. Bobby Farrelly's Driver's Ed (2025) and Boots Riley's new film, I Love Boosters (2026). Discussing how Driver's Ed while cliched, is a fun watch with a fresh conclusion, and how I Love Boosters is a leftist satirical comedy that feels incredibly loud and bold.</p><p><br></p><p>🎬 Watch the trailer: <a href="https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP"></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKyPMlKCWLs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Driver's Ed | Official Trailer</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1xZegSgN8w" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">I Love Boosters | Official Trailer</a></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9">📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast</a></p><p></p>
