This week on Thank God for Movies, Jon Negroni and Will Ash discuss the Netflix film The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Joe Carnahan directed and wrote the film. Next, we tackle The Testament of Ann Lee starring Amanda Seyfried. Directed by Mona Fastvold and co-written by Brady Corbet, it’s a quasi-musical about the founding of the Shakers movement. Why didn’t this movie get any Oscar attention? Let’s discuss!
