Film Wonk Podcast Episode # 174 ' Mulan' (dir. Niki Caro), ' Lingua Franca' (dir. Isabel Sandoval), ' Up On The Glass' (dir. Kevin Del Principe) - Free Audiobook

This week, Glenn and Daniel (and special guest Erika) dive into the first Disney live-action remake Glenn has felt any desire to watch, Mulan, a film as American as apple pie and jingoism. We also check out a pair of smaller films - a thriller melodrama debut from director Kevin Del Principe, Up on the Glass (now available on VOD), and a slow-burn romance from trans Filipina director Isabel Sandoval, Lingua Franca, now available on Netflix (01:36:57).
