Godzilla vs. Kong
 
What would you expect to get when buying a ticket for "Godzilla vs. Kong"?  And you get just that.  With some weird human interactions that really stand out as not needed.  
Godzilla is again on the hunt, drawn to other Apex predators to destroy.  Though this time, he tangles with Kong- 8th Wonder of the World!  Nothing about this film is a surprise- except for the tunnel to theater side of the world (Hong Kong), which is par the course for a movie set in the Godzilla Universe.  There are a few heart warming moments with a very young Island girl and kong- Kyle Chandler and Millie Bobby Brown are very wasted, which is a shame because they are great.  (4.5/5)
 
Concrete Cowboy
  
Idris Elba leads the charge in this Netflix Original with some heart and real desire to win awards.  
A young teen is sent to live with his father in Philadelphia when his mother is unable to handle him anymore.  He finds himself (and his father) as part of a community of cowboys in a large city.  If you watch the trailer before the film, you'd certainly think you were going into a certain kind of experience and you'd be part right.  There is emotion in Concrete Cowboy- more than most yet fails in the 3rd act to really deliver on the emotional set up, let alone what using Idris brings to the table- the power and intensity unfortunately NOT tapped into in this one.  (6.5/10)
 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Chris Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.
