August 21, 2019
Great to have Andreas Clemente back with us this week after a couple of weeks break. To make up for it, two movies under the spotlight.
“Scary stories to tell in the dark”. “Scary stories” is based on a kids book, but the filmmaker tries to have it both ways, present a scary movie for kids, but also appeal to adults. By doing this, he achieves neither. The films turns out to be too scary for kids and way too predictable for adults.
& “Dolor y Gloria”. Feels like an incredibly personal and intimate movie for Almodovar and the audience feels it almost autobiographical till the very end. Antonio Banderas plays completely out of type and in my opinion will receive an Oscar nomination for his efforts. Said that, the film would no be whole without the amazing supporting performances around him; every conversation, every line of dialogue has meaning and subtext, nothing is thrown away. A must watch at home with a nice bottle of wine.
In the last hour my guest is Maria McReddie. Maria studied literature and graduated as a magna cum laude lawyer from the University 
of Miami Law School. She worked for several years as a corporate lawyer at the White & Case LLC law firm in the United States.

Maria currently lives with her family in Panama. Having taken part in the Book Fair last week to day we talk her book “Los cosas hubiese querido saber a los 20 Aňos” and the life events that led to its publication.
