Lord Of The Rings The Rings Of Power has been the victim of some pretty heavy hate/controversy. But does it deserve it? Well, we watched TROP and some of our opinions may surprise you. Others...not so much. Either way, two of us were happy to have an episode to geek out on and the other one of us was happy to get drunk.

BODIES bodies BODIES! Is it a deep take on the social decay brought onto us by our own self-absorption masquerading as righteousness wherein people adopt ideologies in order to avoid criticism?

The Boys season 3 met our expectations. That is to say that nothing overly jaw-dropping happened. However, don't be mistaken! This was an amazing season and the show is on a steady incline. BUT... because the show keeps going bigger with all of its themes and cliffhangers and because it keeps pushing the limit on absurdity, parody, and satire, how long can it go before it becomes too much or t...

NOPE was something we all had different expectations for.

Stranger things season 4 has got to be one of the best in its series.

Top Gun Maverick! Another unoriginal Hollywood sequel or is there really something to this one? Is it an absolute waste of time, do you actually need to watch the first Top Gun to understand this one, is this just another military propaganda movie? The thing is... there are a lot of questions. But do we have the answers? No... No probably not. But we drink so maybe that makes up for it! Now enjoy...

Yeahhh, we liked Dr. Strange. We've heard a lot of complaints about the movie but it's mostly from people who have hyped it up for themselves too much and even they know that. But going in not knowing what to expect we were in some ways blown away, and in others simply whelmed. But one thing is for sure, Marvel is changing yet again and their universe is about to get absolutely crazy. CHAP...
