This week in Film — SOUL

December 10, 2020December 10, 2020 Michael J. Casey

When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down movie theaters in March, Disney scrambled their announced release schedule as best they could: First by pushing their major blockbusters to 2021, second by off-loading their lower-rent family fare to their streaming service, Disney+. … Continue reading This week in Film — SOUL
