#121 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
May 08, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBThis week we tackle James Gunn's newest (and last) entry in the MCU - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! A highly emotional character-based film, this movie picks up where *checks notes* the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special left off. Featuring a star-studded -- almost to the point of feeling bloated -- cast, GOTG3 delivers on all the goofs, gags, and guffaws one comes to expect from a James Gunn entry. A refreshing (wink) if not unpolished film, this does feel like a return to form for...

February 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBThis week we dive into the newest MCU release - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. After a 20 minute opening sequence of classic broken-family failures in communication, Scott Lang and company find themselves somehow stuck in the quantum realm. Oh no, how ever will they get out?! This film is messy from start to finish - an amalgamation of dialogue, characters, and set pieces that just don't seem to belong with one another. And yet, fans continue to line up in droves to be the first to see t...
#109 - Triangle Of Sadness
February 13, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 79.2 MBThis week we're continuing our Oscars series with Ruben Östlund's "Triangle Of Sadness."

After casually creating the highest-grossing film of all time, James Cameron said "Yeah, I think it would be fun to make 4 more of those." 13 years later (and 8 years after it was originally planned for release), the second film in the Avatar series has come out. It is just as beautiful as you might imagine, and if you don't care about the blue people now, you will by the time you leave the...
#102 - Cats
December 12, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBThat's right, kids! This week we are reviewing the nightmare-inducing theatrical production of (not) everyone's favorite musical - Cats!

October 31, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBThis week we discuss the final installment (please let this be the last one) in the canon Halloween quadrilogy - Halloween Ends! This movie has been a little disappointing for many, being a departure from the normal mold that has propelled the Halloween franchise since 1978. That does not, however, mean that this film cannot stand on its own merits. So, does Halloween set itself up for failure by diverging from the mold, or does it add a refreshing mint leaf to the closure cocktail that is b...

Loaded with a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, & Ana De Armas; as well as directed by the MCU's favorite Russo Brothers, this film has all the ingredients for a classic spy-leaning action film. But can it pull it off, or does it land in the "generic action thriller" territory? And, of course, is it good? If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hell...
