It's another episode of Midday at the Moviesour monthly conversation about films and filmmaking.

Joining Tom in Studio A are our two movie-maven regulars:

Ann Hornaday, film critic for the Washington Post and author of the best-selling moviegoers' guide, Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies. Ann joins us on Zoom from Iowa...

And Jed Dietz, the founder and former director (retired) of the Maryland Film Festival and Parkway Theater. 

Today, Ann and Jed size up the current crop of new films and streaming releases, including THE LOST KING, A THOUSAND AND ONE, AIR, LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING, and PRETTY BABY: BROOKE SHIELDS.
