If you are even the most casual of Spider-Man fans, you have to be stoked about some of the news that has come out over the last week.

As the end of the year draws near, there is a ton of awards buzz. One of the buzziest films over the last few weeks has been the film that is the subject of our review this week, King Richard. After all, the Academy loves a biopic and they love transformative acting performances. King Richard emphatically checks both of those boxes. But even with that going in its favor, is King Richard really a f...

Between an incredible all-star cast and its Western-goes-modern aesthetic, Jeymes Samuel’s ‘The Harder They Fall’ certainly qualifies as one of the most intriguing straight-to-Netflix films released to date. But would all that style and star power add up to a stellar product? That was the question Cam and Kirk set out to answer in this week’s movie review. If you watched ‘The Harder They Fall’ and...

We try to cover everything we can in this episode but let us know...

The 3rd MCU film of 2021 is here! Marvel Studios’ Eternals always looked like an ambitious project on paper.

Did you really think we were going to let Halloween sneak by without a horror movie review? Not a chance. And not just any horror movie review, this week we reviewed the latest installment in one of the most beloved horror film franchises ever, Halloween.

With all the big name, blockbuster films coming out in 2021, it’s hard to know which film is truly the most anticipated film of the year. That said, it’s also hard to imaging Dune not being a part of that conversation. Directed by one of the modern masters of film, Denis Villeneuve, and featuring a stacked cast of rising stars and Hollywood staples, the expectations could not be higher for this mo...

No Time To Die will likely go down in history as one of the films most closely tied to the pandemic since it was one of the first big titles to move as a result of the virus. And, much like the movie itself, our review was delayed because of unforeseen circumstances. But, at long last, both No Time To Die and our review of No Time To Die are here and we have lots of good discussion in store. In ad...

One of the more recent trends in film is to create a feature film that is either a prequel or sequel to a successful TV show, allowing the opportunity to capitalize on the franchise equity without having to do a revival or reboot. The most recent instance of this is The Sopranos’ prequel The Many Saints of Newark. Of course films like this are hard to critique simply by their nature but, in this e...

It has been 3 years since Tom Hardy’s Venom first graced the silver screen and, to the surprise of many, scored over $1 billion in global box office earnings. That kind of performance does not come around every day, and with it comes huge expectations for the sequel. So for our first review of the week, we discussed Venom: Let There Be Carnage. In this spoiler-full review, we discuss the acting pe...

At long last, peace has once again been achieved as Disney and Scarlett Johansson have settled their dispute for a large sum of cash. But when one Hollywood saga ends, another is born.

Nic Cage living in the woods with his trusty companion, a truffle pig. Need I say more? This week, we took advantage of a scheduling issue to go back and review a film we’ve been wanting to talk about for a few months: Pig. This film was very buzzy back in June but we didn’t get a chance to review it then. So, it was finally time to see if it lived up to the hype. Take a listen to hear what we tho...

The tagline for the subject of today’s review, Malignant, calls it a “new vision in terror.” And well, let’s just say after viewing this movie, we both agree that may be the understatement of the millennium. James Wan’s vision for this movie makes it a very different entry into the horror genre and, because of that, we decide to do a very different review today. In this episode, we break down all...

Episode 5 of Marvel Studios’ What If…? brought us Zombies. And, frankly, that’s sort of all there was to it. Just good ol’ fashioned zombies and a potential setup for the zombie plot line to return and continue somewhere else along the line in the MCU. So, listen in to hear our thoughts on the MCU’s take on Zombies, where this episode ranks among the first five episodes, and what that Thanos appea...
