The Plague, We Bury the Dead, The Housemaid, Anaconda – 627
The Plague and We Bury the Dead offer two different types of horror (though they sound like they should be more related). The Housemaid is ridiculous popcorn camp but a shockingly enjoyable time at the movies. Anaconda has all the elements on paper to work but the chemissssstry fails to translate on screen. Listen on…

The Running Man, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t – 614
Edgar Wright takes on Stephen King’s (sadly) still relevant The Running Man. The Horsemen return in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t but do we wish the franchise was a disappearing act instead? Listen on Apple Podcasts More about The Running Man In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known…

Good Fortune – 606
Keanu Reeves gives a divine performance in the new comedy Good Fortune, but is the film as a whole a slam dunk?

TRON: Ares, Roofman, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Boots – 604
TRON: Ares is gobbledygook that fails to add anything meaningful to the franchise (except maybe a great soundtrack). Roofman is a criminally fun tie at the movies (but more fluff than anything else). Kiss of the Spider Woman gets bogged down in its own attempted grandeur. Boots is a brilliant balance of themes and tones.…

The Long Walk, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, Spinal Tap 2 – 596
Stephen King’s The Long Walk proves as timely a film adaptation as there could be. Also two films made as (perhaps unnecessary) fan service with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale and Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues Listen on Apple Podcasts More about The Long Walk From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen…

Nobody 2, Americana – 589
Bob Odenkirk continues his action streak with the entertaining (but slightly mindless) Nobody 2. Americana proves to be a bigger mess than it’s worth. Halsey gives a strong performance but it’s not enough to save the film. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Nobody 2 Sometimes the most dangerous place for a dad is a…

Ballerina, The Phoenician Scheme, Dangerous Animals, Predator: Killer of Killers – 570
Ana De Armas joins the John Wick-iverse in Ballerina. Wes Anderson continues to rinse and repeat his work with The Phoenician Scheme. Jai Courtney gives a swimmingly scary performance in Dangerous Animals. Predator: Killer of Killers is a more than worthy entry into the franchise. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Ballerina: From the World…
