Movie Pass Adventures: Thelma

Thelma movie bar

If you’ve ever seen an action movie and thought “they sure have the sound up high,” know that it was nothing compared to the volume was set at for this movie. Hearing aids not required!

Man, I enjoyed this film. The humor works, the riffs on action movie tropes work, the touching stuff works… everything works. June Squibb and Richard Roundtree make a great geriatric Murtaugh & Riggs.

Bonus fun for me: most of it was filmed in the East San Fernando Valley (and they weren’t trying to hide it) so I got to play “Hey, I Know Where That Is!” a lot. “That’s the gas station near Aroma Cafe! That’s the park up the street! That’s the place where we bought the lamp by the couch!”
