Lifestyle Picks Ep 90: Netflix thriller about pill that grants users temporary superpowers 8:26 mins Synopsis: Every Thursday, find out about lifestyle and even stay-home entertainment choices during the Covid-19 period in Singapore. This week, Money FM's Bernard Lim hosts The Straits Times' film correspondent John Lui to share his picks for the week. Project Power is an ambitious take on what is by now a standard science-fiction premise of the drug that grants superpowers to ordinary folk. Like many thrillers, it contains the moral: Those who defy nature will face consequences.  Defying nature here is New Orleans teenager Robin (Dominique Fishback), a dealer in the super-stimulant given the name Power; there is cop Frank (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), tracking down the source of the drug. Jamie Foxx appears as The Major, a mysterious super-soldier also looking for the makers of the glowing orange pill.   There are a couple of fresh twists here, such as the notion that swallowing the drug leads to unpredictable results.  Produced by: Money FM's Bernard Lim & ST Lifestyle desk Edited by: Bernard Lim & Penelope Lee Follow Lifestyle Picks podcast every Thursday and rate us on: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa2 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa6 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWau Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaL Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
