In this edition, a new video essay focusing on Baby Driver breaks down the chase scenes, the screenplay, and the structure of the movie. Plus, watch a short film called Cradle that uses time travel to correct a tragedy for one young man, and see what happens when Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters hop in the car with James Corden for some Carpool Karaoke.
Baby Driver will be coming to home video soon, but before you get a chance to rewatch the movie from your couch, check out this video essay from Jack’s Movie Reviews that breaks down how writer/director Edgar Wright carefully and expertly introduces his characters with very little need for dialogue or exposition, among other notable characteristics.
The sci-fi short channel Dust has debuted a new film called Cradle from director David Holechek. In the film Hook star Dante Basco is all grown up and trying to rectify a tragedy involving his infant daughter. The twist is that it involves some strange form of time travel involving body patches that send him back in varying intervals. There’s not much time for explanation of how it all works, but this short gets the job done.
