We'd heard it was this script that actually blew up Krypton, but c'mon - it can't be that bad. We saw Borderlands. Nick and Les head to the movies to see the latest DCU outing under Gunn's leadership. This one has a lot to love, and so many tiny things to be bothered by. The biggest sin? It's a little boring at parts*. Check out ALL our thoughts here, and find out where we fell in the scope of cri...

This week, Nick and Les check out a new Disney animated co-production with anime influences - will they like it?? Turns out YES!! Dragon Striker on Disney/Hulu is a charming, beautifully animated show about a magical soccer school (kinda) and the team of scrappy punks that have to learn how to use their innate magical powers to play the game. We were hooked and tore through all the episodes. Can't...

TV Dudes at the MOVIES!! We headed to the theater and caught up with Woody, Jessie, and all our pals from the TS Universe! Toy Story 5 is another awesome entry in one of the strongest movie runs in history. We laughed, we cried (stupid dusty theater...) and we bopped to the Taylor track in the credits. Come hear all about it! STAR COMMAND!! #ToyStory5 #TaylorSwift #Pixar #TVDudes

This week, patrons pick the show! Patreon member JPV is back with another show for us to watch, and it's ALICE & STEVE! It's a comedy with the premise "what if your best friend slept with your child" and hilarity ensues! No, but really - the child in question is 26 and getting her doctorate, and there's some other mitigating factors. Does the show win us over or leave us squicked out over the...

In prep for Toy Story 5, we've been filling in the missing bits of Les' movie watchin' with a romp through Toy Stories 3 and 4. 3 shook him - that incinerator scene... wow. Will 4 keep up the charm? Obviously it will. It has FORKY! Check it out, then tune in tomorrow for our Toy Story 5 review!

With a new TS hitting theaters, we discovered a hole in our TV Dudes library - Les has never seen Toy Story 3 or 4! He loved the first two, but just didn't catch the third and fourth sequels. Do they have a friend in him?? We decided to find out! Join us as we discuss Les' first watch of this classic - did he laugh? Yes. Did he cry? I mean, it's Pixar. That incinerator scene, y'all... It's a blast...

This week, Nick and Les head back to Metropolis to catch up with Lois, Jimmy, Kara and Clark in My Adventures with Superman! It's our favorite super-show on tv right now, and every week of the previous seasons was a treat. Will S3 keep up the charm? Probably so :) We love this show. Plus: From! Cape Fear! Lestat! Let's gooooooo! 1:05- TV Diaries 24:30-21:05 Cape Fear 21:05-37:46 Vampire Lestat 37:...

As we continue our coverage from ATX TV Fest Season 15, we’re catching up with the wonderful Eliza Bennett to look back at the incredible legacy of Sweet/Vicious. A few days following the show’s emotional 10-year anniversary reunion panel, Eliza was kind enough to get on the phone with me and chat about her favorite behind-the-scenes memories of playing Jules, the intense material of the show, and...

As part of our ATX Television Fest Season 15 coverage, we sat down with the author and the showrunner behind one of last year's most exciting surprises - Netflix's THE HUNTING WIVES. Author May Cobb and Showrunner Rebecca Cutter discuss the adaptation process, the appeal of small-town Texas, and their collaborative dynamic. Meeting them ahead of Season 2 was a pleasure, and I'm excited for you to...

Les and Nick head to the cinema for a non-stop action beat-down called THE FURIOUS. One Angry Dad, a Grizzled Reporter, and a child-trafficking ring collide in an EPIC action movie. Who will survive?? Not everyone, that's for damn sure. Wow. These guys are really angry. Suffice to say - we LOVED it. But... how does it rank next to Night Comes For Us, The Raid 2, or some of the other high-water mar...

This week, Les and Nick take a trip down south to Georgia and the Carolinas for Apple's new thriller series, CAPE FEAR! It's based on an awesome novel and two great movies, so let's see how the new adaptation holds up! Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson, Javier Bardem and a slew of narrative changes await us. Let's go! Plus, Les checks out the spooky-Cocoon vibe of The Boroughs, while Nick catches up on th...

Nick and Les head to the theater to catch the latest attempt at a cash-grab on this property... will this version of He-Man harken back to the toys of our youth? Or will this be another misfire like the 80s version? (spoilers - this is big dumb fun and we enjoyed it a lot!!) Find out all the stupid character names and silly jokes in this insane romp. Is that QUEEN I hear?? #HeMan #Fisto #TriKlops...

This week, we SPIDER! After resting up from ATX Fest, we settled in for a little 1930s black and white (or is it in color??) mystery with Nic Cage and the greatest Electro ever done on-screen. Did we love it? Honestly, yeah. It's pretty fun. Find out all the things we dug (and a few things that stuck in our craw) in this week's episode! Plus - new FROM! That HACKS finale! Nick dives into the AMC I...

As part of our ATX Television Fest Season 15 coverage, Les was lucky enough to chat with Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow of the hit show The Way Home. We talk about how time travel can make character work more complex for the actor, how the show feels particularly Canadian, and what the journey of the Landry family has meant to them. #ATXTVFest #TheWayHome #TheHip

Shock of Shocks! Les ENJOYED this movie!! Yes, he's aware it's a Star War. Even still. It's very fun. Nick also loved it, but was a little shook that Les liked it. Join us as we dive into all the whys and WTFs of this strange phenomenon! This is the Way.

This week, in prep for ATX Television Fest, we checked out the indie-TV comedy Everyone is Doing Great!

Y'all know we love a shark movie... even one that doesn't give us sharks til halfway through. That's right, we're talkin' Renny Harlin's newest action flick, DEEP WATER! It's got Eckhart, Kingsley, a coral reef, and several pieces of a large aircraft. What more could you want?? We had a pretty fun time with this one, and are here to tell you all the gory details. Let's GOOOO!

Patron JPV picks the show this week! Nick and Les head back to school for Amazon's newest foray into what we'd previously thought of as CW/Freeform territory. Can the world's largest warehouse make a show about romance? Turns out YES. We loved Off Campus, watched all the eps, and are here to gush about it. Plus! Diaries, Hacks, From, and that BOYS FINALE - daaaaaaaaaaaang, y'all! NEXT WEEK! ATX Te...

This week, it's a third season about a second coming reduced to a single episode! Good Omens - the show that's part Pratchett and part that guy - returned for one last hurrah. We're here to give you the lowdown on it and tell you all the things we liked, all the ways it felt oddly rushed, and why we love the Ineffable Husbands so darn much. Plus, Nick watched Devil May Cry! Les watched Community!...

This week, it's FINALLY showtime!! After many delays, we finally got to see the MK movie we've wanted since the 90s. Full of weirdly serious lore, goofy fights, and a lot of washed up Cage. But the true joy of the film was... Kano??? Find out all the things we loved, the couple things we hated, and why this movie gives us hope for Street Fighter as well!

This week, we were planning on Lording it over some Flies, but instead found ourselves swimmin' in Tooch with the new season of Citadel! Does this season fix all the things that didn't work for us in season 1? Kinda. Does it do the good work of putting Tucci and Raynor together in the road trip spy movie we desperately want?? Sometimes.  We'll dive into all our feelings about it, plus The Boys, Th...

This week for our patreon bonus episode, we were utterly charmed by Bryan Fuller's madcap debut feature, Dust Bunny! Mads Mikkelson as a hitman hired to kill the monster under a kid's bed? SOLD. It's a fantastic and fantastical flick and we're in love with it. Find out all the reasons why!! #DustBunny
