Eight months to the day we popped out our last podbaby, Required Reading re-returns with a new sense of purpose and a more hopeful outlook. Until February, anyway, when it’ll probably all come crashing down again. So let’s ride this wave of optimism while it lasts and transport ourselves to that cheeriest of places, mid-80s communist Czechoslovakia! No seriously; My Sweet Little Village, from the late, Academy Award-winning director Jiří Menzel is a delightful peek at the lives of a close-knit community in a rural hamlet. Make sure to watch this Oscar-nominated treat on Prime Video before listening in to Alex and Dan’s spoiler-filled reactions. Oh, and bone up on your cinematic canines while you’re at it because there will be a quiz.
