Yeah, so I review films every week for the Tribune News Service.

So that's a newspaper wire service that goes to papers all over the country.

So I'm in the Chicago Tribune really often.

But if you're interested, you know, I think we'll mention that from now on because that's in blue, and if you have an opinion you'd like to sound off, sound off.

Our first opinion piece is from John Crisp, who's from the Tribune News Service.

What can we watch? How about an execution? One night in 2005, I sat in a church in Texas listening to a lecture by Helen Prejean, the prominent opponent of capital punishment.

Her book about her work among death row inmates had been made into the film Dead Man Walking.

It's Film Week on LAist 89.3 of the LAist app.

I'm Larry Mantle with critics Claudia Puig, who's program director for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and Katie Walsh, film critic of the Los Angeles Times and for the Tribune News Service.

We have a really busy week, and we begin in wide release with The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network, starring Mikey Madison, who won the Oscar for Onora, and The Bears' Jeremy Allen White.

Claudia, please start us on The Social Reckoning.

We have a few anticipated movies to talk about in this week's film review segment, Aaron Sorkin's Social Network sequel, and this year's Palme d'Or winner at Cannes, and the very, very, very long Elon Musk documentary.

Joining me to discuss those and one more, we have Amy Nicholson, film critic for the Los Angeles Times, and Katie Walsh, film critic for the Tribune News Service and the Los Angeles Times as well.

Welcome back, both of you.

Thank you.

And that does it for this week.

Amy Nicholson, film critic for the Los Angeles Times.

Katie Walsh writes for the Los Angeles Times as well and is film critic for the Tribune News Service.

Thank you both.
