Fresh out of the theater, we're diving straight into Marvel's latest attempt to bring the Fantastic Four to life in "First Steps." This film represents yet another chapter in the troubled cinematic history of Marvel's first family, and we're breaking down exactly why it stumbles despite its impressive cast and visuals.
The movie teases greatness with an exhilarating opening seque...
We review "Black Bag," a dialogue-heavy spy thriller starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender that explores loyalty in both professional and personal relationships. Our panel has wildly different opinions, creating a dynamic discussion about what works and what doesn't in this unconventional film.
• Chemistry between the lead characters stands out as a highlight even for those who dislike...
Jack Quaid stars as Nathan Cain (Novocaine), a man impervious to physical pain who transforms from a reluctant banker into an action hero when his girlfriend is kidnapped. The film balances comedy and gore effectively while exploring the journey of a man who initially sees his condition as an embarrassment before embracing it as a superpower.
• Clean, simple premise: a man who can't feel physical pain pl...
Stepping into the pixelated world of Minecraft proves to be a blocky disaster as we break down everything wrong with Hollywood's latest video game adaptation. Jack Black brings his signature energy as Steve, but rather than feeling authentic, his performance comes across as a greatest hits compilation played in the wrong venue – a Jack Black impersonator rather than the real deal. Meanwhile, Jason Momoa provides ...
We review Ryan Coogler's vampire film "Sinners" starring Michael B. Jordan as twins, discussing how it attempts to blend social commentary with horror but struggles with pacing and storytelling issues.
• Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers whose differences aren't distinct enough, creating confusion
• The film spends 75% of its runtime on character development before introducing vamp...
Death has never been so logical. Final Destination Bloodlines delivers what might be the most perfectly plotted horror film in years, surprising us with its airtight storyline and fully justified character actions. Who would have thought that the sixth installment in a horror franchise would be the one to eliminate plot holes entirely?
The film brilliantly connects to the broader Final Destination universe wh...
We review "Ballerina" from the John Wick universe, analyzing whether this Ana de Armas-led action film delivers as a worthy addition to the franchise or if it falls short of expectations.
• An entertaining but not particularly deep addition to the John Wick franchise
• Gabriel Byrne delivers a compelling performance as the villain
• Ana de Armas brings emotional range to her character Eve
Superman flies onto screens with a divisive splash as James Gunn attempts to resurrect DC's cinematic universe. Our hosts Michael, Addy, and a special guest dive into whether this fresh take soars or crashes under the weight of universe-building ambitions.
What makes Superman so challenging to adapt? The team explores why this iconic character has struggled in modern cinema, comparing Gunn's approac...
Ryan Reynolds has performed a miracle with Deadpool & Wolverine, crafting what feels like an extended apology letter to fans who've suffered through the MCU's recent disappointments. This isn't just another superhero movie – it's a statement that someone at Marvel finally understands what audiences have been craving all along.
The film thrives on the undeniable chemistry between Reynol...
Step into the blood-soaked underworld where vampires rule the night and only one man walks between worlds. Wesley Snipes' portrayal of Blade isn't just a performance—it's a declaration of superhero cinema's untapped potential that continues to resonate decades later.
What made the 1998 Blade so revolutionary was its complete disinterest in franchise-building. Before shared universes domina...
Have you ever witnessed something simultaneously brilliant and terrible? That's the puzzling contradiction at the heart of Joker: Folie à Deux, a film that delivers breathtaking visual artistry while completely missing what made its predecessor special.
The cinematography deserves nothing but praise – the lighting, color grading, and camera work create moments of pure visual poetry. One striking example:...
The Gorge defies expectations at every turn. What starts as a seemingly formulaic assassin romance between Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy evolves into something far more intriguing when they literally fall into another world. Their chemistry anchors this genre-bending adventure that seamlessly transitions from romantic thriller to monster-filled horror without missing a beat.
Miles Teller's transformat...
Ever watched a movie you expected to hate but ended up enjoying? That's exactly what happened with Disney's latest live-action remake "Snow White." Going in with rock-bottom expectations after months of PR disasters, we found ourselves genuinely surprised by a film that delivers far more entertainment value than its pre-release controversy suggested.
The unexpected highlight? Gal Gadot abs...
Remember when action movies had substance? RoboCop wasn't just an explosive sci-fi flick about a cyborg cop—it was a prescient vision of our future.
Watching Paul Verhoeven's 1987 masterpiece today feels eerily prophetic. Long before our current concerns about facial recognition technology, corporate control of public services, and media desensitization to violence, RoboCop was laying it all out wit...
Ever watched a movie so bad it makes you question how it was even made? That's exactly what happened when we subjected ourselves to Sony's latest Spider-Man Universe disaster, Madam Web. From the moment Dakota Johnson's paramedic character coldly dismisses a child thanking her for saving their mother, we knew we were in for a special kind of cinematic catastrophe.
The problems with this film ru...
Prepare to be enthralled and possibly a bit disturbed as we, Michael Pishonery and Addy A'Shula, along with our guest AJ, offer an unflinching critique of wealth and its follies through our discussion of the dark comedy "Saltburn." This episode promises to unravel the psychological twists of a film that's as darkly humorous as it is thought-provoking. We're not just talking about the plot here...
