Did you think I was just dropping one review? Nope! Two for the price of one. I made you wait a long time so it's the least I could do. The second of the two is also from the horror genre and was another highly anticipated movie. Longlegs was also heavily hyped with people calling it the scariest film in the past decade. You know I had to bring Tyler back for this one. So did it live up to the...

We are BACK folks! I know you missed me but the reviews will be back in your feed and I hope to be back for good this time. Today I'm bringing you a review of the highly anticipated (by me) MaXXXine with Tyler and Reese along for the ride. Mia Goth and Ti West completed their trilogy and we had a lot to say about it. Starring: Mia Goth, Elizabeth Debicki, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Bacon,  Addi...

It is finally spooky season so you know Tyler and I had to do something special for you. First, we give you a review of a new indie French thriller with a fascinating setup. Then we hit you with the first movie draft in the podcast's history. We started out small but ended up picking 30 horror properties. There's no way you'll hear this list and come away without something new to watch...

We're on a roll here at Have You Scene? with our 4th review in about 1 week. This time it's a Sci-Fi/Adventure/Thriller starring John David Washington that drew our attention. I'm back with Reese for this one and we both were captivated by the trailer while being concerned that it may show too much. However, we each agreed that it did not show too much and we enjoyed the ride the film...

The hottest movie of the weekend was No One Will Save You. The Hulu entry had the internet buzzing, catching the attention of Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro. As horror fanatics, Tyler and I had to see what the hype was about so we sat down to watch this one. Did we agree with the hype? Tap in to find out. Non-Spoiler Review: First 24:48 Starring: Kaitlyn Dever ( Booksmart, Unbelievable ) Addi...

Bibs and Tyler are back with yet another horror movie review. This one is from a director with 1 degree of separation from Tyler, which is how it ended up on my radar. It Lives Inside has a somewhat traditional horror/thriller setup but with some Indian-American cultural details that make it feel more fresh than a run-of-the-mill horror film. Great performances by the cast also elevate this film....

This episode marks the return of Hercule Poirot and the return of Reese to the podcast! A Haunting in Venice offered an interesting setup to the murder mystery genre with a supernatural element being teased, but did it deliver on this premise? Tune in to find out. Non-Spoiler Section - First 30 minutes Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey Additional Cast: Dylan Corbett-...

Bibs and Tyler are BACK with yet another horror movie review. This time it's Talk to Me, a horror movie out of Australia from the minds of two brothers who are popular youtube creators. The film marks the cinematic debut for the pair as well as the majority of their cast but the film did not feel like amateur hour. Our boys did not fully agree on this one so tune into the review to see where t...

Dropping back into your feed after a bit of a hiatus, we are here with the best movie that was released on Barbenheimer weekend. They Cloned Tyrone has a popular cast, a manageable runtime, and introduces you to new characters to fall in love with. Tyler and Bibs spent some time with this review, about 30 minutes with no spoilers and an hour with spoilers. Non-Spoiler Review - First 28 minutes Enj...

Not long ago, Tyler and I did a random episode where we talked about the history of Black Mirror and went through some of our favorite episodes. We did so in anticipation of the new season which is now here. In the non-spoiler section, we ranked the 5 new episodes and discussed what we liked or didn't like about the stories without going into detail, we then elaborate in the spoiler section fo...

Back again with Tyler Lennon and surprise, surprise it's a horror review. When I first heard about The Blackening I just assumed it was another ensemble parody horror movie and I was not paying much attention to it. Then I noticed a few people I liked in the cast, realized who the writer was, and had a little bit of a push to add it to my list. I'm glad I did because this is one of my favo...

Every now and then you stumble across a hidden gem and that was the case with Influencer . I was scrolling on Twitter when I saw a few tweets about a new movie arriving on Shudder. I had nothing to watch and thought, "why not?" I'm glad I made that decision as I watched an early contender for best indie thriller of the year. I brought Tyler along for the ride (of course) and we had t...

Joe Lo Truglio, best known for his roles on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Reno 9-1-1, stepped behind the camera to make *checks notes* a horror movie?! That's right, Joe wrote and directed his first feature film and it is not a comedy. How did the film (with his wife as the lead and his friends filling out the cast) turn out? Hit play to find out. (Outpost arrives on VOD platforms 5/19/23) First 4:05...

When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was released, no one knew what to expect. We didn't know the characters, James Gunn wasn't a household name by any stretch of the imagination and Marvel hadn't really gone cosmic yet. We'd already grown to love and trust the brand but this was something new, something risky. Fast forward 9 years and the Guardians name carries weight, so...

The Eight Mountains comes to us with a slew of accolades already accumulated, ready for the U.S. market. Among the best films at Cannes last year, The Eight Mountains lives up to its billing as the type of movie film critics should love, but is it one for the general public? I brought Tyler along for the ride this time as we sat down to watch The Eight Mountains and let the listeners know whether...

The dramatic retelling of the classic sitcom returned for its second season, but did it live up to the great first season? Reese returns to the show to talk about Season 2 of Peacock's Bel Air. This season gave us love triangles, great intra-family tension, professional life drama, drugs, violence, new threats, and new successes. There was drama around every corner and Reese and I go over all...

This week I'm back with another Indie Movie Review. I set out to do at least one a month but I have not released any since Free Skate back in January so you'll get a few in the coming weeks until I catch up. Today's entry is R.M.N. A Romanian film that has been making waves since debuting at Cannes last year. Though the film is set in Romania, the main theme of the film applies to any...

For months I planned to see Beau is Afraid on opening weekend, then the week arrived and the runtime was too much for me to endure. We'll reconsider when it's on streaming platforms. Tyler was expecting to come along for the ride on that one so instead we pivoted to Evil Dead Rise. I had almost no familiarity with the previous entries in the franchise but thankfully Tyler did. The movie (a...

A wave of content is arriving on your feeds this week as I have more time for movies during the NBA offseason. Today, I bring you an interview with 14-year-old rising star Tatum Matthews where we discuss her background and her upcoming role in the film The Artifice Girl (arriving in theaters and VOD on April 27). Tatum is an impressive young actress who is certainly going places and after listenin...

Welcome to the first entry in what I hope will be a long-running and fun series on this podcast. It is the IMDB Top 100 series and today's entry is none other than Good Will Hunting. Coming in at #84 on the list, Good Will Hunting is a movie that is often quoted and mentioned in movie conversations but until recently I had never seen it. Thankfully, my guy Rolo from 77 Spaces on Twitter is a m...

I've been away for a few weeks but I'm dropping back into your feed with a review of the new Amazon movie Air! I brought along Shad Miller for this one because I am not a sneakerhead and I needed that perspective. Air is a movie that I had no expectations for and was pleasantly surprised by. Great acting, great storytelling, some history, and most surprisingly some emotion. This movie cove...

The first episode of the previous season of this podcast covered the Scream requel and today I had to bring my guy Tyler back to cover Scream VI. There were big changes to the franchise and big swings taken with this movie so there were questions as to whether or not the magic would remain.  Tyler and I talked for about 3 hours but I condensed the conversation into the important beats and spl...

While recording the Scream VI review, Tyler and I got sidetracked talking about Black Mirror for a while. We talked about the show for almost 25 minutes and rather than waste that content, I put it into its own episode.  You'll see more one-offs as I plan to put out mini episodes discussing hit shows that people should watch. Consider this the first (and super unplanned) episode.  Sponso...

It has been some time since I've been able to pull off my annual movie awards but I'm glad to be back. I'm also delighted that I got some of my guests from the past year to join me for this ride.  We all have our feelings about the major awards shows so I want to make sure I take the time to talk about the movies that I loved whether the old guard appreciated them or not. There are 11 categor...

It's a panel discussion for the Creed III review with Bibs welcoming back Reese and Shad to discuss the latest entry in the Rocky franchise. The film brings together two rising movie stars in Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors for the main event but they were not the only two who stood out in this film.  This was a fun discussion with some laughs and some serious talk as well. There is a s...
