The Life of Chuck Crowned Film Of The Month On The UK Film Club Podcast

Film Feature by Chris Olson

August's episode of the UK Film Club Podcast was packed tighter than a can of sardines, crammed with the latest movie reviews, short film reviews, and indie feature films.

It was a pleasure, as always, to join my co-host Brian and cover some of the best movies out right now. As always, Brian gives his coveted "Film of the Month" award to one of the cinema releases, and this month it was for the new Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck.

Directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay and more, the film was co-written by Flanagan and King. The storyline goes: A life-affirming, genre-bending story about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz.

The Bulls' Night Out: A 90s crime film crammed with New York accents.

A Road to a Village: A Nepalese drama about the impact of progress in rural communities.
