🧞‍♂️3000 Years of Longing / Samaritan movie reviews

In today's super-sized episode, Anthony talks about the new George Miller flick, "Three Thousand Years of Longing." "While attending a conference in Istanbul, Dr. Alithea Binnie happens to encounter a djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems: first, she doubts that he's real, and second, because she's a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong."

...Also, both of the guys review, "Samaritan," directed by Julius Avery. "A young boy learns that a superhero who was thought to have gone missing after an epic battle twenty years ago may in fact still be around."
