Episode 68: Stuber & Under the Silver Lake

This week in Movie News, a surprisingly large subsidiary of 21st Century Fox falls by the wayside in the wake of Disney's takeover, Lashana Lynch (a woman - gasp!) is rumored to play 007 in the next James Bond film, and young up-and-coming actor Austin Butler is cast to play Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's upcoming biopic about The King. Odds are two of these stories are good for Hollywood, and at least one has gotta be bad. Tune in to find out which is which!

Moving into Reviews, Andy spills the beans on the new action-comedy film 'Stuber' starring Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, and the guys talk about why the film works, and ultimately, why it's shared release date with 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' is putting the brakes on this car-based comedy. Rest assured, one day Stuber will come to streaming services, and when it does, it's well worth the price of admission. In the meantime, tune in to find out whether or not it's worth a trip to the theater.

This week on The Trailer Park, the guys review the trailers for Disney's 'Mulan' and Matthew Vaughn's third entry in the 'Kingsman' cinematic universe (ha ha) with 'The King's Man.' Which one of these films is destined to be a soulless spin on an otherwise washed-out franchise? We haven't seen the films yet, but we've seen the trailers and we've got hot takes!

Finally, Zach dishes on the new A24 film (available on Amazon Prime) 'Under the Silver Lake' from the director of 'It Follows,' David Robert Mitchell. It's a tough watch, and though it's constant tributes to the Hollywood of old may bolster some audiences, it's surrealist approach to generational divides have most audiences reeling. Or at least, that's what Zach thinks. Strap in for some bold cinema, folks - Andy comes out swinging on this one!
