We're Watching What?!

How far are we from narrative plentitude? Will there come a day when POC won't feel pressured to support a project JUST because it centers around diverse representation? Is there space for successful animated films that aren't big budget but have artistic integrity? THEDHK is joined by Disney animator Tony C to discuss representation, cultural connections, and Netflix's animated film, Over the Moo...

The only scary thing about Come Play is how bad it is. Thankfully there's The Queen's Gambit on Netflix to keep our interests pinned. Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

Why would you try to outdo Hitchcock at his own game? What makes a great adaptation (or in this case bad ones)? Why are there so many movies that have plots that could be solved by one conversation? THEDHK, Jacque and Matt return to discuss all of this framed around Sofia Coppola's On the Rocks, the 2020 updates of Rebecca and The Witches , as well as Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. They also chat abo...

What is the allure of 90 Day Fiancé? THEDHK is joined by Inkoo Kang of The Hollywood Reporter to discuss the fascinating franchise. They explore how it's an entertaining and sometimes dangerous platform for citizenship privilege, xenophobia, and minimizes abuse in the name of amusement. Yet in spite of all of that it's also funny as hell, which puts us in precarious positions as viewers.  Fin...

A bevy of films to review this week. Borat returns to the big screen for the first time in 14 years and it is as cringe (in a good way) as ever in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (our review is spoiler free) .  Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray reunite in On the Rocks but something of the spark got left in Lost in Translation.  Rebecca offers zero improvement over the Hitchcock version - and zero...

Who are BLACKPINK? Why do people watch horror movies? Can you separate art from artist? All questions we explore in this week's episode.  THEDHK is once again joined by Jacque and Matt. Up for discussion are the second trailer for The Mandalorian, Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago, BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky about the k-pop sensation, and the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man. Major spo...

What happens when you make two people who've never seen The Bachelor or The Bachelorette watch "the wildest season ever?" THEDHK, is joined by newcomers to Bachelor Nation (and reality tv aficionados) Kelsi and Kyle to find out the answer to that question! 🌹Also, spoiler alert for the Premiere episode of The Bachelorette. Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/th...

Aaron Sorkin is back in the directing chair (don’t worry he’s still writing too) with the timely The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix. More about The Trial of the Chicago 7 : What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest — including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom...

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt continue their ongoing Spider-Man and MCU speculation - now with the news that the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Strange, will probably be joining the next film. They also watched the unintentional horror film The Lie. Finally disability, accessibility and representation are all up discussion for after watching Netflix's Deaf U. Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDH...

The War with Grandpa wastes a perfectly good geriatric cast (led by Robert De Niro). The only scary thing about the Blumhouse film The Lie is how bad it is.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt have to ask why of all the Spider-Man villains they're bringing back Jamie Foxx's Electro? They trudged through the Gloria Steinem biography, The Glorias. Were hostage to the antiquated adaptation/remake, The Boys in the Band . They all also managed to hate binge watch all of Emily in Paris on Netflix... Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram....

The Glorias brings Gloria Steinem's stories to the screen. A Call to Spy tells an important story that deserves a better platform. The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn't take advantage of the increased flexibility. Emily in Paris is an escapist dream for basic girls everywhere.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk...

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt are stoked about the news that Samuel L. Jackson is bringing Nick Fury to the streaming screen. They are not at all amused by L.A. Comic Con thinking that having an in person event this year is a good idea. Also they're watching Enola Holmes on Netflix, starring Millie Bobby Brown Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com...

Enola Holmes is a charming headlining debut for Millie Bobby Brown. The Devil All the Time is a star studded back woods thriller, that while disjointed, was still watchable. Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles tries to jam too many flavors into one cinematic recipe.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt reunite to see how their Emmys picks went and to discuss: the Janelle Monáe led Antebellum , the Ridley Scott series Raised by Wolves , to rejoice over the news of Tatiana Maslany being cast as She-Hulk, ponder the wonders of Wandavision, and take a trip to the world of Paris with the new Paris Hilton documentary This is Paris. The documentary ended up being a surprisingly...

Antebellum delivers sloppy "horror" if you can even call it that, Kajillionaire is full of "characters" and The Way I See It is a timely look back at what it was like to have a real President of the United States (through the lens of Obama White House photographer, Pete Souza).   Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedh...

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt reunite to predict the 72nd Emmy Awards. How is it that only a handful of shows dominate every year? Do we care about half the categories? What even are the categories? Which droid do we think deserves an Emmy? Hint: there's only one nominated. Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , on Twitter at twitter.com/thedhk , or Facebook a...

IFC Midnight's Rent-a-Pal has surprising warm (but then delivers on the weird). You also should absolutely be watching The Boys on Amazon Prime Video and The Vow on HBO. Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

Did qi undermine any feminist intentions in Mulan ? Did Matt really drive 4+ hours to see The New Mutants ? How do we bring the X-Men into the existing MCU? Finally do we REALLY need another Bruce Wayne as Batman film? THEDHK, Jacque and Matt all gather (digitally) to discuss! Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , on Twitter at twitter.com/thedhk , or Fa...

While Mulan should have come out in theaters - it's probably worth a stream, meanwhile The New Mutants shouldn't have come out at all.

It's the very first episode of "We're Watching What?! We're watching two blasts from the past and one... something or another this week with Bill and Ted Face the Music, Get Duked and You Cannot Kill David Arquette. - Bill and Ted are back but I don't know if I'd call their return fully excellent.   - Get Duked might be appealing if you're a 15 year old Scottish or British school boy, bu...
