Greetings, programs, and welcome to a very special episode of the show.  This week (and next!) Simon is on holiday, so Matthew will be joined once again by our friend Rachel Ho of Exclaim.ca, ThatShelf.com, POV Magazine, and The Globe and Mail!  We're diving into an indie darling and a big, oscar-bait action spectacle this week.  First, Benson & Moorhead's Something in the Dirt, which is finally in release after premiering all the way back at Sundance at the beginning of 2022.  Then we move on to Emancipation, Will Smith's first big release since "the slap".  One of these is quite good, and the other not so much.  Listen to find out which!To find streaming links to both movies, as well as our ratings and all of our other content, check out this episode's homepage at AwesomeFriday.ca CONNECT WITH US:      Matthew on Twitter: @SmatthewAF Rachel on Twitter: @_RachelKH Home:   AwesomeFriday.ca Awesome Friday on Twitter: @AwesomeFridayCa    Awesome Friday on Facebook: Awesome Friday Awesome Friday on Instagram: @AwesomeFridayCa AwesomeFriday on YouTube: Awesome Friday Email Awesome Friday: Contact Us SUPPORT:        Thank you so much for joining us!  If you're new to the show, welcome; we're glad you're here!      If you've been listening for a while, welcome back, we're glad you're here!
