MOVIE Morning

Hey everyone, the first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - the Monster-Verse spin-off show about the Monarch organization and its origins - just wrapped up with its finale on Apple TV+. I have not been a huge fan of this iteration of the Monster-Verse from WB but the glowing reviews for Monarch had me intrigued. I binged a number of the episodes a couple of weeks back to get caught up to watc...

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios' Echo - their first TV-MA rated streaming series and first to be released all at once - has dropped on Disney+. As someone who absolutely ADORES Daredevil and really enjoyed Hawkeye, I was hoping this show would be another win for the street-level corner of the MCU but all the behind-the-scenes troubles had me worried. Anyways, here is my SPOILER REVIEW of Echo.

Hey everyone, 2024 has arrived and we have a whole new slate of films to look forward to. From sequels, such as Kung Fu Panda 4 and Gladiator II, to prequels, such as Furiosa and A Quiet Place: Day One, to high-profile directors returning, with films such as Mickey 17 and IF, this year is PACKED with a wide variety of films. This most anticipated list is one of the hardest ones I've done in a whil...

Hello everyone and happy new year! 2024 has begun (pretty slowly for me personally) but another year has come and went so its time to do one of my favorite things on the show: rank my top 10 favorite movies of the previous year. 2023 was a wild year: surefire hits disappointed audiences AND bombed at the box office while there were many surprise breakout films as the highest grossing ones of the y...

Hey everyone, after 9 days straight of new episodes releasing, season 2 of What If...? has now wrapped up on Disney+. In this review, I go over all 9 episodes and give my quick thoughts on each individual one, culminating in what I think about the season as a whole and comparing it to the enjoyable enough first season. So, does What If...? improve on season 1 or does it continue the MCU's cold...

Hey everyone, here we are... the end of the 10-year long, tumultuous journey that was the DCEU that initially started with Man of Steel. James Gunn's DCU kicks off with Creature Commandos next year but before we look to the future, I think its important to celebrate what we have, especially with me being one of the few (at least it seems like) defenders of the universe despite how messy it is. Spo...

Hey everyone, Zack Snyder's long-awaited REBEL MOON has finally landed on Netflix. As a fan of Snyder's work, for the most part, this was easily one of my most anticipated streaming releases of the entire year... even if I was hoping to see it in theaters. So, does the Zack Snyder being let off the leash allow him to create some of his best work yet... or does he get lost in the ambitious world bu...

Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2018 $1B-dollar grossing Aquaman has now released and apparently, it is the final film of the DCEU and the current era of DC films... before James Gunn's DCU kicks off with Max's Creature Commandos in 2024. The first film in the DCU will be Gunn's Superman: Legacy. Getting back to Aquaman, I highly enjoyed the first movie and have really dug the trailers for this se...

Hey everyone, this was a surprise. James Gunn officially confirmed, via Threads, that Matt Reeves’ upcoming Arkham series is actually going to be set in the upcoming DCU, that will kick off with Creature Commandos next year. I break down the news right here.

Hey everyone, what some are calling the cinematic family event of the holiday season - Wonka - has hit theaters. From the director of the two Paddington films comes a Willy Wonka prequel that (apparently) is meant to precede the events of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder. I was interested in this movie based on the director alone, despite being a huge fan of the Roald Da...

Hey everyone, 3 weeks ago, Loki - Season 2 wrapped up on Disney+ and as promised, here is my full SPOILER review of season 2. Season 1 was one of my favorite shows of 2021 so this season had a lot to live up to. So, does Loki - Season 2 fulfill one of the greatest character arcs in the MCU or is it yet another disappointment in the MCU's Multiverse Saga? Find out in this review... and thanks f...

Hey everyone, better late than never! I, at long last, have finally 100% completed Sony's, Marvel's, Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. After a highly successful and astonishingly fantastic first game, they definitely took their time in getting this sequel out to us (of course, with Miles Morales coming in between). The game released on October 20 but because of a holiday and exams, I wasn't able to comple...

Hey everyone, the Hunger Games prequel - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - released in theaters a week ago. I had the chance to see it last week but did not have time to review until today so I thought I'd share my thoughts, especially considering I am not really a fan of these movies and might give a unique perspective. So, does the latest Hunger Games film feel like more of the same or does t...

Hey everyone, the greatest superhero comic in the universe RETURNS... on the small screen. Season 2 of Invincible - one of my absolute favorite shows of all-time - finally began airing a couple of weeks ago and now, it's on a break in between episodes 4 and 5. The back half of season 2 is currently set to air in early 2024 but there has been no specified date yet. I thought now was the PERFECT tim...

Hey everyone, I'm back to break down more exciting news from James Gunn's Superman: Legacy. This time, we've learned Nicholas Hoult is officially set to play Lex Luthor in the film. In this episode, I break down the exciting news, my thoughts and whether or not Lex will be the main villain in the film. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, the day so many (including myself) have been waiting for has finally arrived. (It looks like) we have our first official casting from the MCU's upcoming Fantastic Four film, releasing in 2025 and to be directed by Matt Sharman (WandaVision). I have loved the F4 since I was a child and have been BEGGING for a good F4 film since then. I honestly feel like this could finally be it but a...

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios' final film of 2023 - The Marvels - has now released in theaters. This was, by no means, my most anticipated comic book movie of the year because I don't think the first Captain Marvel is great and the trailers seemed like Thor: Love and Thunder 2.0. The lack of confidence from Marvel and Disney to screen this film in advance also made me nervous going on. I don't reme...

Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone for a number of weeks but the season 2 finale of Loki - Season 2 - 'Glorious Purpose' - debuted on Disney+ yesterday. What an incredible episode! In this breakdown, I discuss all the amazing moments of this finale and why the writers have managed to construct one of the best character arcs for Loki out of any character in the franchise... and of cours...

Hey everyone... oh my god. Marvel Studios has officially made the decision to FIRE all the writers & remaining directors on Daredevil: Born Again, a pseudo-reboot of the Netflix show that was set to bring back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, Vincent D'onofrio as Kingpin, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher and potentially more people? Whether this series was going to function as a season 4 or be set in an e...

Hey everyone, here we are again with another episode of my favorite MCU show: Loki. Episode 2 of Season 2 has now aired (bright & early on a Friday morning) so it's time to discuss it. In this breakdown, I'll be giving you my thoughts & theories about where this show could be heading in the rest of Season 2, as well as some easter eggs you may have missed from the second episode. E...

Hey everyone, Star Wars: Ahsoka - the latest show from Lucasfilm on Disney+ - has now wrapped up its first season (or entire show depending on how things go with the plans for the future of the Favreau/Filoni Star Wars universe). After really enjoying episodes 1 and 2, I put out a review but since then, 6 more episodes have aired and quite a lot has changed... This review will contain SPOILERS for...

Hey everyone, welcome back to the FIRST MCU Disney+ episode breakdown in a very, very long time. My favorite Disney+ series - Loki - finally returns with the highly anticipated Season 2. There's almost an entirely new creative team and new clear villain but there are so many mysteries set up that could be CRUCIAL to this show and future Avengers films. I break all that and more down in this episod...

Hey everyone... its been a couple of weeks but I am back with a review of the latest (and first in a while) ORIGINAL Sci-Fi blockbuster - The Creator - directed by the director of Rogue One and Godzilla. This is a film that has been on my radar ever since they 20th Century Studios put out the first trailer because I was just stunned by the visuals and that Disney and 20th Century genuinely let Gar...

Hey everyone, the Writer's Strike is now officially and finally over with the writers getting a fair deal. Now, it's back to business for everyone in the entertainment and film industry, including James Gunn - director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and now DC Studios Co-CEO. I have been absolutely pumped to see James Gunn's upcoming DCU, a soft reboot of the DCEU, that will kick off with...

Hey everyone, My Adventures with Superman - an Anime-inspired Adult Swim Superman cartoon and one of the biggest surprises of the year - wrapped up with its Season 1 finale last week. This show has been a delight and I've been waiting very patiently to discuss my thoughts on it once the whole season is out. For those of you who have not checked it out yet, I'll be trying to convince you why you sh...
