Managed Expectations

Welcome to episode nine of Managed Expectations with film fans Ju Shardlow and Tim Kennington. With fewer films being released at the moment and trips to the cinema only a distant memory, we covered one of the newest Disney+ releases... "Artemis Fowl". "Artemis Fowl" is a fantasy adventure film based on the novel by author Eoin Colfer. It is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Colin Farrell, and Judi Dench.
