Mister Rogers mania continues into 2019, as the Tom Hanks-starring A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood hits theaters this weekend. Seeing and Believing reviews Marielle Heller’s new film and adds an interview with Joanne Rogers herself into the bargain. Wade and Ms. Rogers chat about what it was like to have known and loved the remarkable Fred Rogers, as well as see the outpouring of interest in him after his death. The guys then turn to something a little faster-paced, James Mangold’s Ford v. Ferrari. Does the Matt Damon/Christian Bale film satisfy Wade and Kevin’s need for speed?
