New Movie Releases: The Spectacular Now, The World’s End, You’re Next

The Takeaway

This week’s movie offerings visit the present, future and possible end.
In the present tense, we have the teen romance “The Spectacular Now.” Looking toward the future, we have the horror movie, “You’re Next.” And for those who want to see things through to their conclusion, we have the apocalypse comedy, “The World’s End.”
Kristen Meinzer weighs in with her thoughts, as usual. In addition to co-hosting the Movie Date podcast, Kristen is culture producer for The Takeaway.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
