Matt's Movie Lodgecast

To celebrate the Lodgecast surviving one year of being locked down, we watched an HBO Max Original movie called Locked Down! The movie is directed by Doug Liman (Swingers) and written by Steven Knight (Serenity) and stars Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor. With all this talent, we thought it might have something to offer! Written, financed, and filmed entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic, the movie featured an abundance of Zoom conversations and pandemic-related humor and drama. It also showcased a whole bunch of cameos including Stephen Merchant, Mindy Kaling, Lucy Boynton, Mark Gatiss, Claes Bang, Ben Stiller, and Ben Kingsley. While this romantic comedy heist film tested the resolve of the Lodgecast, we are all better people for seeing it!
