We're back with another episode of Lost! And since it is Halloween, it figures that we would start to get a little spooky here, a throwback to our Shock-tobers of old as we break down "Raised by Another" which gives us the backstory on Claire and how her and her unborn child came to the island. This is by far the heaviest supernatural episode we've had, to the point where we're not even sure if wh...

That movie is none other than Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Alvarez! Dom is joined by Luk Reviews and newcomer Kevin Bianchi aka Kevin the Block to break d...

As with all good things, we are at the end of blockbuster TV season. It's been quite a run, and we had a lot of fun covering everything.

Night Shyamalan's latest effort, "Trap" which stars Josh Hartnett as a dad taking his daughter to a concert only to discover that the entire thing h...

It's not quite Barbenheimer, but man did we finally get an eventful weekend worthy of a summer.

Another week of summer, another jam packed episode! First, we wrap up and say goodbye to the Boys Season 4 with Dustin "the Duster" Mason, as we broke down an otherwise gangbusters finale coming off what I would say was an otherwise disappointing season. Then, we break down everything that happened in Episode 6 of House of the Dragon, and boy was there a lot that happened with Eli Holick...

It's been a jam packed second week of July! After a Fourth of July that was crammed full of movies, so much so that I barely had time to see them let alone podcast about them, we're finally back with some new summer movies! First, Kristen & Dom break down the two mid summer horror drops, Maxxxine from A24 & Ti West, which concludes the trilogy started back in 2022 with X & Pear...

The summer is officially here, and in the wake of absolutely nobody going to the movies this summer (I can't say I blame them) we have the return of a phenomenon I haven't seen in quite a few years, which is that of blockbuster TV!

First up is Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the Bad Boys saga once again directed by Adil & Bilal who up their action filmmaking game in an effort that sees Mike (Will Smith) and...

Welp, no new movies this weekend, so I decided to try something new. As part of my creative reset, we will no longer necessarily be reviewing new movies as part of the podcast. So, to compensate this week, here is our latest part of our Actor's Hall of Fame which we do exclusively on Youtube for now, in which we break down our ten favorites of an actor's filmography and then build our comb...

Welcome back to the Wasteland everyone! And by Wasteland, I of course mean the year of 2024, because what a wasteland for content it has been so far. We return to the World of Mad Max 9 years after the last installment, with a prequel spinoff following Anya Tayor-Joy as a young Furiosa, with Chris Hemsworth as the big bad baddie Dementus, along with a host of returning players. Sounds like a recip...

We're back with the second installment in our summer 2024 series, and we're returning to another legacy franchise, but not one that we were expecting to return anytime soon. We're talking about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the first follow up to the Matt Reeves/Rupert Wyatt trilogy of the 2010's that followed Andy Serkis' Caesar from infant to ape savior. Now, we've f...

We're kicking off the summer with already one of the most entertaining movies of the year, The Fall Guy! The next movie from David Leitch, who's quickly proved himself as one of the up and coming action directors. This time, we've got Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, the true merging of the Barbenheimer, in a massive action rom com romp that also seconds as the best Hollywood skewering si...

We're wrapping up the winter and spring and moving into the summer with a double feature I don't think anyone saw coming.
