In this episode, in response to recent events in this country, the Critic and the Referee decided to highlight films of triumph. From Selma to Erin Brockovich, they present both expected and unexpected films that feature characters who strive to overcome. But, that’s not it! Since this year’s Emmy nominees will be announced this Thursday (July 14), the Critic and the Referee also talk about the TV shows and performances that they think deserve some recognition at this year’s festivities. Plus, they provide an absolutely hilarious “Did You Know?” and a “Pick of the Week” that the Critic is excited about — HBO’s The Night Of. This episode has a little something for everyone. Enjoy!
