The Breakdown of 'First Man', 'Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween', 'Operation Finale', 'Private Life' and 'Malevolent'

We are halfway through October and we are getting deep into the quality movie season. We've got some great movies to praise this week and maybe more than one could make our 'Best of the 2018' show. This week we review five movies with the big one being the major Oscar contender in the Damien Chazelle directed and Ryan Gosling starring story about Neil Armstrong landing on the moon in First Man. Halloween is almost here, so we've got another horror movie for kids in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween. We also have a horror movie for the older crowd in the paranormal picture Malevolent. The ghosts from the past surface in the thriller of the real life capturing of Adolf Eichmann in Operation Finale. We also have a comedic drama about an older couple trying to get a child in Private Life. As always we had a great time recording the show and we really hope you love it as well. If you do enjoy the show then please help us out by spreading the word to other movie fans.

The time stamps are still changing every time that I use the player, so it makes a timed outline pointless. Once again, if someone can assist in fixing this issue that would be greatly appreciated.
