When Disney announced they were making a MOANA show for streaming, it was an interesting premise. But when they then announced they were making the show into a movie, it was even more interesting.

We all saw FLY ME TO THE MOON in the theater and had a great time! But, even while watching on the big silver screen, it was obvious that it is the perfect movie for streaming.

It's getting blasted by critics and audiences alike, but buckle up. We didn't think JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX was as bad as the current 33% Rotten Tomatoes rating indicates. We think Todd Phillips took some risks—some paid off, some didn't—but once you figure out what's fantasy and what isn't, JOKER 2 becomes a film that movie-making classes could spend some time on.

Chattanooga is just down the road from Nashville, so when we saw Olivia Reeves win gold in Paris, we reached out to USA Weightlifting and asked if we could get a few minutes of her time. She graciously said yes, so the Untitled Film Project Podcast took the show on the road, drove down to Chattanooga, and ended up talking movies, Paris and chocolate muffins with the 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist weig...

M. Night Shyamalan is back again with a solid thriller... but does the nepotism associated with the film ruin TRAP? Let's talk about it...

Its pedigree is in a successful video game, it's got the backing of a massive existing fanbase, and it boasts Oscar winners, Golden Globe-nominated, and future Academy Award winners in its cast... but BORDERLANDS squanders all that and will go down as one of the biggest box office bombs of the decade.
