Podcasting is a privilege as Steve is joined by Dan Kois and Rebecca Onion to unpack and cackle at the domestic thriller schlockfest The Housemaid. Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried star in the Paul Fieg-directed tale of two women facing off to rule the McMansion roost. Next, Seyfried proves she's got the range as the panel joins the chorus appraising her performance in The Testament of Ann Lee, the epic tone poem and musical biopic about the founder of the Shakers directed by Mona Fastvold.
Despite her American Eagle jeans ad controversy this summer, and her box-office defense of Christy in the fall, the Sydney Sweeney machine can't stop and won't be stopped. Next up in her never-ending press tour is the suburban thriller The Housemaid, which she co-stars in with Amanda Seyfried. (Then Euphoria in the spring. It will never end.) The movie's November 12 seasonal trailer opens with the message, "Season's Greetings from the Winchester Family." But there's no joy or merriment to be found.
