January 4, 2024 Midday Movie Madness Weekly Weekend Warrior

On this week’s Midday Movie Madness Weekly Weekend Warrior , box office king Wonka gave audiences a ‘sweet’ chocolate-y way to ring in the new year . Michelle Yeoh has a new off screen role-elated first time grandmother ( and Marlee Matlin is getting promoted to that role later this year.) Get ready for a terrifying ‘Night Swim” - the first horror film of 2024- in theaters this Friday . And speaking of horror, what’s this? The world is getting a horror-comedy version of Steamboat Willie ?( No folks I’m not joking). Plus Pop quiz! What do a chicken legged strange moving castle, a witch in training , a girl raised by a forest wolf god in feudal Japan, and a sullen 10 year old in the spirit world all have in common?
