Just Another Friday Night

It's a hail Mary toss into the endzone! But we're here! Join us! If you ask nicely, I'll even send you the link to hop on in real time!

Tonight’s episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Classy Thomas Clarke aka SpongeBob SquareBalls. About a month ago we lost our friend and, in many ways, a big part of our heart. He was Collecting Weekly family but also a Just Another Friday Night alumni so that made him our family too. We miss him and we will never forget him. Tonight, we discuss The Last of Us season 2 and boy was it a...

“Rebellions are built on hope.” And after seeing the series finale we know they’re also built on the back of Luthen Rael, and Kleya Marki, and Lonni Jung and of course Mon Mothma and Cassian Andor. This season was damn near perfect gang and it just got better as it went along! It’s getting the critical acclaim and it’s getting the fans acclaim. Tony Gilroy delivered a masterpiece and the worthy pr...

Andor IS back! The latest from Disney+ and Star Wars is the highly anticipated follow up season to the critically acclaimed original. Disney+ has told us that this is the final season of Andor and it makes sense as we are roughly 4 years out from the events of the Battle of Yavin. The Battle of Yavin refers to the events at the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. We also know that Rogue One:...

The Devil is Alive! The Devil of Hells Kitchen that is and he’s bringing his rowdy friends to Friday Night!! Pegged by some to be a slower, more paced version than the Netflix series, Disney+ and Born Again found closed this one out strong! Jon Bernthal returns as The Punisher and Charlie Coxs’ Matt Murdock and Vincent D’onofrio’s Wilson Fisk seemingly give to their battle with duality. The audien...

On April 1 we lost American acting icon, Val Kilmer. We grew up watching him and to Us he’s one of the best to ever do it. He truly left his mark on film and he’s one we won’t ever forget. Roles like Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison, Iceman - are just a few of the iconic characters Kilmer came to embody. There are so many other roles to talk about though. Tonight, we want to celebrate the life and caree...

Mark, Oliver, Debbie, and Nolan are all growing up Grayson! As season 3 kicks off with its usual bang we’re eager to see some continuing themes and hopefully answers to questions! What is Nolan’s fate? Will Allen sway him out of the Viltrumite prison? How is Oliver adapting? Is something brewing for Eve and Mark? At the time of this recording, we don’t have all these answers, but we do have some e...

Cobra Kai Never Dies! But all things must come to an end and that time has come for one of our favorite shows COBRA KAI! The time has come to bow and say goodbye to Johnny, Daniel, Miguel, Tory, Robbie, Sam, Hawk and all the rest! This show has been a journey and while we’re sad to see it go - it truly got the sendoff it deserved, and it couldn’t have been more poetic. Spoilers ahead! No mercy!!!

Cap is back! With Anthony Mackie taking up the shield for his first time leading his own Marvel feature film. Joining him is megastar Harrison Ford taking over the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross for William Hurt. Hurt who sadly passed away in 2022 left a hole in the MCU as the government heavy. Mackie has a big shield to tout as one of the Avengers big 3 and their leader. In addition, Chris E...

The Netflix smash hit SQUID GAME returns for their much anticipated second season! Last season introduced us to Seong Gi-Hun played by Lee Jung-jae. While we didn’t cover season 1 it wasn’t for lack of trying and we will do our best to recap before we get into season 2. Originating in South Korea and with a primarily South Korean cast Squid is this generations answer to the Hunger Games and The Ru...

It’s been a 3 week hiatus but we’re back and ready to talk the final arc of Oswald Cobb in season 1 of the HBO Max powerhouse - The Penguin! Now if you’d have told us a year ago that we’d be hype for a damn Penguin series we’d have called you liars. But the power of really strong writing prevails! Coupled with masterful performances from Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, and Deirdre O’...

Burgess Meredith, Danny DeVito, and now Colin Farrell. Each of these men has been The Penguin from Batmans' rogues' gallery but though he hasn’t donned the top hat and monocle - Farrell may be delivering the definitive portrayal of the character. First seen in Matt Reeves 2022 The Batman - Farrell was easily the standout as Penguin. Now we head back to the Iceberg Lounge with Oz in Max’s newest se...

“No. I am your Father.” Easily one of the greatest lines in all of film history and it doesn’t stop there when it comes to a real and true Man, Myth and Legend that is James Earl Jones. A King on more than one occasion on-screen Jones’ voice and presence are always undeniable. Playing royalty seemed easy as the man exuded regality. Sadly Jones passed at the age of 93 on September 9, 2024. As huge...

The Sekai Taikai is upon us! And with that we have the final season of Cobra Kai! Netflix dropped the first 5 episodes on us back in July with the remainder to come in November. All our favorites are back Johnny, Daniel, Miguel, Sam, Tory, Robbie and all the rest. But what is the store for protagonists in this final season?
