03/19/20 • 20 min

In this episode of Hello Movies, we take a peek at some brand new films that shine a light on the different kinds of hiding we humans do. John Krasinski shares his unique directorial and writerly perspective on hiding from those creepy giant spider things in A Quiet Place II, while director Jeff Barnaby talks about putting an Indigenous spin on the age-old practice of hiding from zombies in Blood Quantum. And let's not forget Mulan, who hid from an entire army simply by putting on pants! Plus you won't want to miss the expert analysis of the week's upcoming theatrical releases. After all, what better place to hide from the real world for a few hours than a visit to some alternate universes? See you there!
