  • Ep. 11: Omaha Review + Interview: A Quiet Road Trip That Hits Hard
    May 4 2026

    We caught an early screening of Omaha and it’s one of those films that doesn’t hit all at once… it slowly settles in, and then stays with you.

    In this episode, we break down:

    • The film’s “show, don’t tell” storytelling
    • John Magaro’s deeply restrained performance and why it works
    • The emotional impact of the final act
    • The realism of the sibling dynamic and child performances

    We also sit down with Molly Bell Wright, who plays Ella, to talk about stepping into such a mature role, working alongside younger actors, and how she approached the emotional weight of the story.

    This is a quiet, grounded indie that won’t work for everyone, but if it connects, it really connects.
