For this week’s main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Dan Bayer, Sara Clements, Daniel Howat, and Tom O’Brien join me to review and discuss the latest film from Derek Cianfrance, “Roofman,” starring Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang, and Peter Dinklage. Based on the real-life story of robber Jeffrey Manchester, who hid out in a toy store from law enforcement, the film had its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Tatum and Dunst’s performances, as well as Cianfrance’s writing and direction. Please tune in as we discuss these elements, its balance of drama and comedy, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
