Hi everyone,

First of all, very very sorry there wasn't a Firefly upload yesterday. I started recording after our trip but got really sick and my voice is just gone. So hopefully in a few days I can record again and you get more Firefly on thursday! 

I hope you enjoy this recording! It's the first one I did when I got back. It was really nice to see Julia Roberts in a central role, because when I did a poll on her, I didn't realize she wasn't a main actress in some of the options. Next to that it's so crazy that this is based on a real story, which makes it so much more intense.

Enjoy!

Steven Soderbergh is one of my favorite filmmakers. His oeuvre spans from major Hollywood productions to small unknown indie gems, to experimental films & TV series. He was nominated twice for Best Directior in the same year, one for ERIN BROCKOVICH, the other for TRAFFIC (which he won for). In addition to the OCEAN'S Trilogy, some other Soderbergh films that earn my highest recommendation include OUT OF SIGHT (1998), super-cool caper comedy starring George Clooney & Jennifer Lopez. THE LIMEY (1999) untraditional drama about revenge starring Terrance Stamp and the late, great Peter Fonda TRAFFIC (2000) epic star-studded ensemble drama revolving around the world of illegal drugs. From the kingpins to the dealers to the users to the people who try to stop them. SOLARIS (2002) George Clooney stars in this underrated remake of a 1972 Russian sci-fi drama CONTAGION (2011), a now-prophetic drama with a huge ensemble cast chronicling a deadly fast-moving global-wide virus from various perspectives. HAYWIRE (2012), kick-ass action thriller starring Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor & Michael Douglas. Carano does all her own stunts in the movie. THE KNICK (2014-2015) starring Clive Owen, a 20-episode TV series set at the beginning of the 1900's revolving around the studies for medical innovations that we all take for granted today. LOGAN LUCKY (2017) starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, and Daniel Craig. Think of it as an Appalachian "Ocean's Eleven". Highly entertaining. UNSANE (2018), a paranoia thriller starring Claire Foy from "The Crown", shot entirely on an iPhone 7.

Fantastic! 12 mins in and the first question that pops into my head. I wonder if you spot Aaron Eckhart aka Harvey Dent / Two-Face.

LOVED your reaction from a lawyer point of view! Or law school graduate... or wherever you are in the process. I don't know how it works in the Netherlands... MY POINT IS: LAWYER/LAW MOVIE SUGGESTIONS: AMISTAD THE RAINMAKER PHILADELPHIA MY COUSIN VINNY A TIME TO KILL

Hey Mary, great reaction as always and glad you got back safe from your vacation. Please don't feel like you have to act a particular way. I actually prefer it when you're engrossed in the film more than anything. Just a genuine reaction regardless of your saying or doing anything. I have a couple of film suggestions for your list. Both involve very famous legal stories much like Erin Brockovich did, but are completely different in format and content. Molly's Game and The Social Network. Molly's Game being highly underrated, so I don't think it would stand much of a chance in a poll, but it really is a film that should have won an Oscar or three. The Social Network is the story surrounding Facebook. It's directed by David Fincher. The same director who did Se7en, Fight Club, and Zodiac, among many other amazing films I hope you get to at some point such as The Game, Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Panic Room. Hope to see you react to any of these some day. But I highly recommend Molly's Game at some point, I think you would really enjoy it.

Brian Jones

All good calls.... Would add The Firm, Molly's Game, and The Social Network to that list as well.

Great reaction!! Just so you know, that $2.000.000 check Erin earned would be worth more than $15,000,000 in 2021. Nice paycheck!! Love having you back Mary! Films I'd like to see a reaction to this year: All films based on true events: Tombstone (1993) Miracle (2004) Glory (1989) Moneyball (2011) A League Of Their Own (1992) Also: Big Trouble In Little China (1986) Field of Dreams (1989) Silverado (1985) The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) The Quiet Man (1952) The Lion In Winter (1968) Looking forward to the new year!

Awesome reaction as usual! This movie is so rewatchable so it was a delight to see you react to it. A few fun facts about the movie. The waitress at the diner at the 10:20 mark was the real life Erin Brockovich. You can see her name in the credits. Also the boyfriend George is played by Aaron Eckhart who is also Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight. And in the scene where he is playing cards with the kids, the son keeps saying "You got the Joker, you got the joker." which I thought was a fun coincidence since he was broken by the Joker in that movie ha. Anyway thanks again for this reaction! A few movies I would absolutely love you to watch would be: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Arrival The Peanut Butter Falcon How to train your dragon trilogy Into The Wild

There are plenty of other films like this out there to do in the future like Dark Waters from 2019, which was very good btw. I would also like to submit Hell Or High Water which was my favorite movie from 2016, it was written by the same guy who wrote Sicario and Wind River which are also great films. But Hell Or High Water is fantastic. You have so many great movies ahead of you to enjoy.
