Discussing The Suicide Squad, The Green Knight, and Old

Late summer is not, normally speaking, a time to expect exceptional cinema; by the onset of August, blockbuster season is winding down and awards season hasn’t yet begun, leaving audiences stranded in a purgatorial middle zone, heavy on Hollywood’s less promising releases. But against all odds, in these abnormal times, the dog days of summer are bringing some big movies to the big screen that are very much worth seeing. On this week’s episode of Film Club , critics A.A. Dowd and Katie Rife talk about a trio of new releases giving the summer movie calendar a good name: M. Night Shyamalan’s nightmarish aging thriller Old , which came out last week; David Lowery’s hypnotic Arthurian fantasy epic The Green Knight , which opens today; and James Gunn’s gory, funny new addition to the DC superhero universe, The Suicide Squad , which will hit theaters and HBO Max next Friday.
