Movies That Matter / 10-30-26
(Movies That Matter Intro)
Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Liam Neeson is leading a cross-country chase, a pickpocket is trying to survive the cashless economy, and, yes, it’s Halloween weekend – so naturally, the Kringles are here.”

What’s new? Liam Neeson is on the run in The Mongoose.
(The Mongoose clip – “I can’t do that”)
Neeson plays a war hero accused of a crime he didn’t commit, leading police on a televised cross-country car chase while the public watches it all unfold.
(The Mongoose clip – “Bring it on”)
And while Liam Neeson is running from the law, John Turturro is just trying to stay in business.
(The Only Living Pickpocket in New York clip – “You gotta take it day by day.”)
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York follows an aging thief discovering that credit cards and a cashless world are really bad for business.
But then… he steals the wrong thing.
(The Only Living Pickpocket in New York clip – “This is serious”)
And finally… it’s Halloween weekend.
So, of course…
We’ve got Christmas.
(Christmas at the Kringles clip – “What is happening?”)
Ron Livingston and Rachel Bilson star in Christmas at the Kringles as a couple who move next door to a family that celebrates Christmas all year long.
(Christmas at the Kringles clip – “Spoiler Alert – it’s me”)
That sounds festive… not at all.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From cross-country car chases to old-school pickpockets to one disturbing Christmas celebration, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.
