   STREET FIGHTER! Carrie is cool, Animals... not so much

   Hello there! This week at the movies we've got five to pick from, including Street Fighter, which is based on a mega-popular video game series, and WHALEFALL... about a guy who gets swallowed by a whale. Jeff has three movie reviews... the Disney+ doc about Oasis 'Don't Look Back in Anger', the theatrical release 'The Social Reckoning', and the new Ben Affleck-directed Netflix movie 'Animals'. And I take a look at the first couple episodes of 'Carrie' on Prime, and 'VisionQuest' on Disney+. - Brett
