The year was 1997, and the Spice Girls had conquered the world. This new world, this SPICE WORLD, came in the form of a silly motion picture comedy that critics despised, but which has developed a cult following that lingers to this day. And somehow it’s the perfect double feature with Aki Kaurismäki’s minimalist and eccentric rock ’n’ roll comedy LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA. Oh yes. Really.

Welcome back to Critically Acclaimed, where highbrow and lowbrow collide! Every week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review a BAD movie of YOUR choice and pair it with a GREAT movie of THEIR choice, to make an awesome and enlightening double feature. They also review new movies, answer your letters and more!

This Week’s New Reviews: Star Wars: The Last Jedi, The Post, Hostiles, Downsizing, Beyond Skyline, Molly’s Game, Phantom Thread, In the Fade, The Christmas Cottage
