Review: Elvis, Mr. Malcolm’s List, and Minions: The Rise of Gru
Baz Lurhman’s Elvis is as bloated as the King himself at times. Mr. Malcolm’s List does it’s best to draw from the greats, but doesn’t necessarily achieve greatness itself. Finally Minons: The Rise of Gru strains our theory that a certain actress can do no wrong. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Elvis: A thoroughly…

Review: Mad God, Angelyne, and The Umbrella Academy
Phil Tippett’s Mad God is next level unhinged, and not necessarily in a good way. Angelyne is an interesting look at LA’s billboard queen.

Review: Fire Island and The Boys Season 3 (Spoiler Free)
Fire Island is the latest in a long line of Pride & Prejudice adaptations, but we’d say it’s certainly amongst the most fun. Also The Boys are back and more extreme than ever (which is hard to do considering the society they’re mirroring is even more unhinged than one would think possible). Listen on Apple…
