The Takeaway

It’s the day before Thanksgiving, one of the biggest movie release dates of the year.  Among the major releases this year is Martin Scorsese’s ode to movie history, “Hugo,” and “My Week with Marilyn,” starring Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh. And of course, “The Muppets” which has everyone as eager to talk about music as they are about movies. Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer join the program to talk about the new releases. Rafer is film critic for Newsday, and co-host of the Takeaway’s Movie Date podcast. Kristen is culture producer for the Takeaway and also co-hosts the Movie Date podcast.
