Episode 149: Barbie (2023)

February 18, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MB

And now, what the entire world has been waiting for...two men give you their hot takes on Greta Gerwig's 2023 film BARBIE. This is, of course, an exaggeration. This movie could use fewer male hot takes. That said, we felt it was unfair to disqualify the movie from our RSS feed just because other people had been loud and cranky, so we felt the need to get in and defend this Oscar nominee. The film stars Nighthawks favorites Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, with a host of cameos and ...

Episode 146: M3GAN - Curse of Monstoberfest

October 26, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MB

Just when you thought it was safe to undress in front of your tech devices, one Hollywood movie decides to blend post-Y2k tech panic with the classic formula of the killer doll, and manages to keep things fresh enough to keep The Nighthawks nodding along throughout the movie. This 2022 movie seems to share a lot of grace notes with a 2019 remake of the iconic Child's Play property, but seems to strike more of those notes in a clean and well executed manner and it makes for a better...
