Ep 81: Everything, Everywhere all at once Movie Review
May 10, 2022 22:00 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MBToday's episode Denise Chan joins me for one of the most mind-bending, f#cked up, bat s#it crazy movies I've ever seen. Despite this film's wacky over the top universe jumping and visually stunning special effects, "Everything Everywhere all at once" is also a heartfelt story about family, acceptance and generational trauma. There should definitely be a warning for photosensitive (or just generally sensitive) viewers, but there isn’t, so take this episode as your warning. From inanimate obj...
I WANT MY PIG BACK! - Pig Movie Review
May 07, 2022 22:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBReleased in 2021, 'Pig' is an intriguing tale. Pig is not an uplifting film. It’s not an action film either. In fact, it’s actually quite a depressing film, and certainly the most serious of Nicholas Cage’s recent works. It’s also a film that I highly recommend. There is so much subtlety and nuance in it, and it touches on some important issues. Nicholas Cage’s character in the film was once a successful chef who has renounced his past life and chosen to live in the forest, shut off fro...

GET UNCAGED!! - Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Movie Review
May 05, 2022 01:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MBOver the last few years, Nicolas Cage seems to have made a comeback, and today’s movie seems to embody everything we love about the actor.

April 07, 2022 23:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBToday on the show, Michael reviews Morbius, the latest movie to come out of Sony studios. If you were hoping that Morbius would be an improvement on Sony’s Venom, prepare to be disappointed.

The new Batman film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz has received a lot of attention and acclaim from critics and audiences since its release.

The Role that was worth slapping for - King Richard Review
January 22, 2022 02:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBKing Richard stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams.
