There’s always a movie that flies under the radar only to end up being one of the best of the year. Sorry, Baby claims the title for 2025. The film was released in June to little fanfare. The critics took notice, but not many others. Hopefully a second run on HBO will finally bring the audience it deserves.
The subject matter is grim, but the movie is anything but. Eva Victor stars, writes, and directs a story about a woman sexually assaulted by her grad school professor. Yet the film overflows with warmth, beauty, humor, and redemption. It’s an astonishing achievement, especially considering this is Victor’s feature film debut.
Join Jon and Tim as they discuss the things they’re thankful for this Thanksgiving, Tim Robinson’s HBO show, the at-home matinee, Apple TV’s The Studio, the beauty of friendship, society’s response to trauma, the intricacy of sexual expression, men holding men accountable, the eternal youth of Lucas Hedges, the aftermath of sexual assault, following a God who walked in our shoes, the true meaning of justice, and loving your neighbor in the midst of their suffering.
