Mike, Champ and Dean gather for their final show of 2020 to discuss several titles available on streaming platforms. The show begins with some disagreement on Gal Gadot’s latest superhero turn in “Wonder Woman 1984” before Dean and Mike rave about Anya Taylor-Joy’s mesmerizing performance as a chess prodigy in “The Queen’s Gambit.” The second half of the show focuses on a couple Oscar contenders including the black-and-white love letter to classic Hollywood in “Mank” starring an incredible Gary Oldman and the modern parallels in Aaron Sorkin’s historical legal drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
