Genuinely surprising movies are not all that easy to come by, but this directorial debut tries something new and the result is a somewhat thrilling, somewhat campy, somewhat thought-provoking merger of horror comedy that is a blast to experience with others.

After over a decade of wanting it, Dwayne Johnson finally steps into the suit of the titular anti-hero and delivers a fast-paced, high-energy origin story full of fun action set pieces and just enough emotional depth to get by.

Sometimes a movie comes along that just impacts you emotionally in a way that most don't. It makes you laugh aloud and cry while leaving you with the feeling that you connected with its characters in a way that is lasting. This film is about a tiny sentient shell, with one big googly-eye, and shoes on, and it had that effect on us. We hope that you'll enjoy listening to this conversation e...

In this episode - a YA rom-com twist on a Shakespearean classic that I found absolutely delightful and a solid but short documentary that looks back on one of the most incredible 2.5 week stretches in recent NBA history and its greater significance for the Asian-American community.

Also reviews of new 4K Blu-rays for three existing films. Escape...

It's finale time for our coverage of John Grisham story adaptations this week and we end things on a high note with a film that most likely has more time spent in a courtroom than all others combined.

In this episode - two very different stories centered around women. One is a crowd-pleasing historical epic about an all-female African warrior unit fighting to protect their homeland from rival nations and colonizing slavers, and the other is a challenging yet magnificently made somewhat biographic and somewhat fantastical depiction about the troubled life and psyche of Marilyn Monroe. The Woman...
