Two recent films came out that surprised us in very different ways. First up is Creed, the seventh installment in the Rocky franchise, and a film that did very little for us as far as the trailers were concerned. We discuss what makes it not just a great Rocky movie, but one of the best films of the year. Next is Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film The Revenant in which Leonardo DiCaprio may or may not be sexually assaulted by a bear (spoiler: he is not). With such high expectations, it's easy for a film to disappoint, but that disappointment rarely feels as painful as it does with The Revenant. We sink our teeth into the film's soft underbelly and rip it to pieces. Then it's time to wrap up our Billy Wilder Directors Series with a discussion about his 1960 classic dramedy The Apartment. And as always, we send you to bed (or work) with our latest movie recommendations.
