The Sequel to 2009's Avatar is finally here!  It's a powerhouse with the visuals but is it the storytelling dynamo that it should be?  James Cameron delivered a great sequel to his 2009 movie.        0:06:00 Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:14:30 *** What's Streaming  *** NETFLIX A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS, Dir.

Few names in the industry hold as much reverence as James Cameron.  He's made some of the best movies we still reference today, some decades later.  He is a pioneer in the film industry and a leader in new tech.  You absolutely have to pay attention when he releases a film.  2009's Avatar was no exception.      AVATAR, Dir. James Cameron  ( Grayson 7.5 / Roger 8 / Chris 7 )    Hosted, produced and...

Pinocchio, as told by Disney, has always had an impact and probably how most people know the story.  Guillermo del Toro's telling is much darker and, probably, more accurate to the source material.  It's AMAZING and a what you'd expect from the wonderful director.  Disney, take note, please.  PLEASE. 0:06:00 - Chris Xmas gifts to the group        0:09:30 - Box Office and upcoming releases.  0:15:3...

One of the latest originals from Netflix is a film about dreams, grief, and adventure with a cast led by Jason Mamoa.  It's alright, given the content.  Kyle Chandler is, without a doubt, the best thing in it and he's only there for a combined 6 minutes or less, unfortunately.    SLUMBERLAND, Dir. Francis Lawrence  ( Grayson 5 / Roger 4 / Chris 5 )    Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell...

Santa Clause has to stop evil ex military people from hurting innocent and precious believers in the magic in an ultra violent way.  Yes.  David Harbour is wonderful in the role as well as his supporting cast.  This film is a great time!        0:04:30 - Box Office and upcoming releases.  0:11:30 *** What's Streaming  *** HULU THE LAST DUEL, Dir.

Peter Quill says Bah Humbug to Christmas and Drax and Mantis set out on an adventure to bring him the one gift he's always talked about- Kevin Bacon!  Oddly enough, it works on every level.  Really, it's a HOME RUN for Marvel.   GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL, Dir. James Gunn  ( Grayson 9 / Roger 8.5 / Chris 10 )    Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest...

20 years ago and older, a Disney animated film was cause for celebration and a night out at the movies.  You always knew a certain quality was there.  You could count on it.  These days, not so much, and that is a real shame.  Strange World leaves many things to be desired, unfortunately. This isn't 2000 anymore.         0:06:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases.  0:20:30 *** What's Streaming  **...

Will and Ryan.  Ryan and Will.  Bros for sure.  Spirited brings a fun holiday musical both hilarious and up beat.  Sure it suffers from simple problems like story beats and characters not really making sense, but to there ARE some very clever moments.  Like Jacob Marley asking them not to breakout into song every time they have a new development in the plot.  Tracey Morgan is no Norm McDonald, but...

The Menu.  One night.  One performance experience meal.  $1250 a plate.  One harrowing experience.

From 2008 - Current, the MCU has over 30 films and has grossed several billion dollars- no small phenomenon.  Still, we seem to be in a bit of a slower time for the behemoth franchise. Join us for a listen as we take a look at the current state of the MCU and where it is and where it may go.     Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest Appearance by Christopher Boug...

The MCU is a steamroller that will not stop and the newest installment in the form of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sees Wakanda's struggle against the outside world become more real and, with the loss of it's king and protector, is failing to find diplomatic solutions to the growing hostilities.  A darker chapter in the MCU with a few major problems to boot.  Have a listen! 0:13:00 - Box Office...

Enola Holmes is back at it again, trying to establish her own detective agency, while living in the shadow of her mother and two older brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft.  With Enola Holmes 2 being set against the backdrop of a the real and first movement in women's rights, the movie is a light hearted action romp, with some not so clever 4th wall breaking.   ENOLA HOLMES 2, Dir. Harry Bradbeer ( Gray...

Al Yankovic made a name for himself in parody within music.  Really, it's a brilliant place to be and its own genre.  This is his not made up at all, absolutely true, very accurate story.  It's awesome! 0:08:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases.  0:15:30 *** What's Streaming  *** HBOMAX DRAFT DAY, DIR.

One of the most famous novels about war ever written is once again adapted to the big screen.  This Netflix adaption does so many things right.  Paul Baumer goes from a world of a young boy- friends around him and a small life in a German town to the the absolute horrors of the The Great War.  At Two hours and twenty minutes, the film is a commitment but a damn good one.  One of the best things Ne...

Game of Thrones redefined episodic television and had a pretty consistent high quality throughout, with a caveat at the end.   GoT brought back "water cooler" chat on Monday morning in the office discussing the wonderful narrative thread and characters- both rich in detail and on a very sliding scale of likability.  House of the Dragon is much the same.  Set less than 200 years before the events o...

Episode 300!  We are super happy to do a few things on this episode.  A little in studio upgrade, a big budget film to discuss and a reflection on why we watch and how we watch films.  It's a good time! DC needs a few good wins.  Thankfully, Black Adam certainly is one.  It's on of the better DC properties and it's pretty obvious when watching that DC also thinks so.  A solid win!  0:13:00 - Box O...

Mila Kunis is a star in whatever she plays.  Luckiest Girl Alive is no exception.  Not quite the Netflix masterpiece, "Pieces of a Woman" with Vanessa Kirby, but not far behind.

Michael Myers has been a Halloween icon since 1978.  Sad to say, Halloween ends does NOT deserve your money or time in what is ultimately an extremely disappointing end to an otherwise awesome icon.   0:07:45 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:19:15 *** What's Streaming  *** AMAZON THE NORTHMAN, Dir.

Zac Effron is Chickie Donohue- A kid who ran TO Vietnam when most others were trying to avoid it- to bring his friends a beer.  Heck of a story?  You bet.  Unfortunately, not as a heck of a movie.

You see something on a videotape and then seven days later...you die.  Oh!  Wrong movie.  Smile is just a little different, though also a very competent thriller.  Jump scare, the name is NOT Smile.  Thankfully.     0:08:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:13:30 - Streaming with and without Ads.  Pricing? 0:32:15 *** What's Streaming  *** HBOMAX 61*, Dir.

Allison Janney is absolutely the best thing about Lou, on Netflix.  It is gritty, but not so much suspenseful,  and, unfortunately, doesn't give Janney much to work with.    LOU, Dir.
