In Time to Fly, Sabine restarts her lightsaber training under Ahsoka and Huyang's guidance, but struggles with her inability to use the Force like other Jedi. Hera meets with New Republic Chancellor Mon Mothma and several senators and asks them to send additional forces to Seatos. Her request is denied when a senator accuses Hera of using the threat of Thrawn's return to redirect resources to a fu...

We're kicking off the Month of Action with a tribute to America's 250th birthday, in which most of the politicians get obliterated by pissed off aliens. The way it should be. Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum have to team up with a disparate group of crusaders to battle back an alien invasion that, in classic Roland Emmerich style, destroyed all of the major landmarks around the world. Bill Pullman giv...

In the ill-conceived legacy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the afterlife’s favorite chaos agent is summoned back into the Deetz family’s orbit, turning a new generation’s problems into his usual blend of mischief and mild existential hazard. The film leans heavily on nostalgia, sometimes affectionately, sometimes like it misplaced its own personality, while juggling old faces and new ones without...

In Part Two of Ahsoka, Toil and Trouble, Sabine Wren begins her reluctant Jedi training under Ahsoka Tano, despite being hindered by her stubbornness. A star map tied to the missing Ezra Bridger becomes the center of attention, drawing in enemies who seek to misuse it. Morgan Elsbeth pushes forward with her own plans, aided by ominously calm Force-wielders who don’t bother pretending they’re the g...

Champagne and Bullets (also known as GetEven and Road to Revenge) is a chaotic vanity project fever dream where plot takes a backseat to sudden genre shifts, and an unsettling amount of cocaine energy. The story loosely follows personal revenge, police corruption, and justice, but coherence is more of a suggestion than a rule, as if the script were assembled after a long night of questionable deci...

In Indecent Proposal, a financially strained couple played by Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore accept a million-dollar offer from a wealthy stranger, portrayed by the late Robert Redford, for him to spend one night with Demi. What follows is not the erotic thriller we hoped for and more of a prolonged moral hangover, as money, desire, and resentment unravel the couple’s sense of certainty in increas...

In Part One of Ahsoka, Master and Apprentice, Ahsoka Tano tracks down a star map tied to the long-missing Grand Admiral Thrawn, setting off a race against the shadowy remnants of the Empire. Meanwhile, Sabine Wren gets pulled back into Ahsoka’s orbit, reopening a master-apprentice dynamic neither of them seems fully comfortable with. As old tensions resurface and new enemies emerge, the episode le...

Equalizer 2000 is a low-budget post-apocalyptic action outing that leans hard into its Mad Max-adjacent aspirations while never quite mustering the resources or narrative discipline to match them. Set in a desert wasteland where a militarized regime clashes with rebels over a powerful weapon created by Slade (the late genre film star Richard Norton), the film mostly strings together dusty chases,...

Mortal Kombat was the first video game movie that many people from our generation saw, which felt at least mostly faithful to the source material. Dark sorcerers, monsters, a tournament of fighters, and combat that may or may not be mortal. We've been dancing around this one for a long time, and we were planning on waiting for the upcoming 4K release, but when the idea of a month dedicated to peop...

This is another new release we will be tackling this month. The Mandalorian and Grogu is a continuation of the series, which we just wrapped up, and will follow Din Djarin and Grogu as they are enlisted by the New Republic to protect Rotta the Hutt in exchange for information on another New Republic target. Let's fucking go! Get a lot more from Worse People Productions, including these Han Took Sh...

For the final episode of MumMay, we're deviating from our usual path to go check out this brand-spankin' new film in theaters, Lee Cronin's The Mummy! This latest Mummy reboot, if you want to call it that, centers on a family whose long-lost daughter returns and quickly proves she didn’t come back right. The film leans hard into domestic horror and possession-style dread, effectively unearthing a...

Tom Cruise plays a soldier who stumbles into an ancient tomb and accidentally “unwraps” a problem better left sealed, a vengeful princess with plans that are perhaps a bit too forward-thinking for the living. What follows is a globetrotting scramble involving secret societies, supernatural chaos, and Cruise doing his usual sprinting like cardio might fix a curse. The film aims for dark mythmaking;...

Everybody's favorite bifurcated Sith returns in a brand new Disney+ series, but now instead of hunting Jedi, he's... well, kind of hunting a Jedi. Maul Shadow Lord follows Maul as he tries to find a new place in the galaxy after losing his criminal empire while also trying to recruit Padawan-on-the-run Devon away from her Jedi Master. The series mixes street level crime and car chases with Imperia...

In this installment of The Mummy franchise, the O’Connells head to China, swap out Evie (now played by Maria Bello), and wake up a terracotta emperor (Jet Li) who can shapeshift and knows martial arts. Brendan Fraser is still doing his best “punch first, figure it out later” routine, but the formula is starting to feel a bit played out. At least they left the Nintendo 64-level CG scorpion man out...

MumMay continues with more adventures of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, but this time their joined by... ahh man... a little baby shitkid. Rick and Evie are now married with a kid, which would be stressful enough without resurrecting both the Imhotep and an angry cartoon character, The Scorpion King (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). The sequel doubles down on everything: more action, more lore, more...

Today, we wrap up The Mandalorian just in time for the movie with Chapter 24, “The Return.” Din Djarin escapes captivity with the quiet determination of someone who’s done explaining himself, while Bo-Katan Kryze leads a Mandalorian counterattack that turns Mandalore into a jetpack war zone. All this while, Moff Gideon makes one last overconfident stand in armor that screams, “I wish I were Sith.”...

Din and Bo-Katan are uniting opposing factions of Mandalore just in time to attempt to retake the planet. While scouting, they discover survivors rolling around on land pirate ships, as well as a hidden Imperial Remnant base belonging to, you guessed it, Moff Gideon. Mandalorian vs. Mandotrooper...

“I made the yogurt.” -Jack Every year, we take a break from the "bad" movies for MENTAL HEALTH MONTH, a month in which we talk about movies we love! We're kicking it off this year with Whitney's pick, 1994's THREESOME starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin and Josh Charles.    Threesome is a college comedy that traps three very different students, an uptight intellectual, a charmingly chaotic...

This episode is a little late, apologies all around, Derrick lost track of the calendar and thought the episode was to be released next week. This week, we're diving into Jack's favorite episode of The Mandalorian, Guns for Hire! Featuring cameos from Jack Black and Lizzo [sic] as well as the great Christopher Lloyd. This one definitely feels like a filler episode in which Bo Katan and Din Djarin...

What starts as a sleazy errand quickly turns into a neon-lit survival scramble through back alleys and blood-soaked hallway...

“Put a hat on the fuckin’ balloon!” -Jack This 80s schlock classic relocates an interdimensional battle for a magical sword to suburban Earth, where He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) and his allies crash into a small-town teen drama while battling the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella). While Skeletor seizes Castle Grayskull offscreen and waits for a cosmic alignment, the heroes spend most of the film chasing a...

Ranger pilot Carson Teva can’t get official help, so he runs to the Mandalorians for help, guilt tripping Mando into assisting.
