    Awards season has truly begun with several contenders (though not all deserving) including Sound of Metal, Nomadland, Ammonite, and Mank. Also the family friendly Godmothered on Disney+. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Sound of Metal During a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant punk-metal drummer Ruben begins to experience intermittent hearing loss. When a…

Happiest Season, We Are the Champions, The Croods: A New Age, Uncle Frank, Superintelligence, and Hillbilly Elegy are all up for review – but which will fill your…

  • Let Him Go, Holidate – 24

    More reviews this week: You should absolutely not go to Let Him Go and unfortunately you also probably shouldn’t make a date with Holidate on Netflix (which feels like it was sponsored by a mall lobbyist group). Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Let Him Go Following the loss of their son, retired sheriff George…

    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. Listen on Apple Podcasts 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…

    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. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about The War with Grandpa Sixth-grader Peter (Oakes Fegley) is pretty much your average kid-he likes gaming, hanging with his…

  • The Glorias, A Call to Spy, The Boys in the Band, Emily in Paris – 11

    Lots to review this week: 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 The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn’t take advantage of the increased flexibility.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…

    While Mulan should have come out in theaters – it’s probably worth a stream, meanwhile this review thinks The New Mutants shouldn’t have come out at all. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Mulan Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless…

    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” Listen on Apple Podcasts – Bill and Ted are back but I don’t know if I’d call their return fully excellent. – “Get Duked” might be…

    Lots of streaming from home options this week with “Chemical Hearts” “Tesla” and “Boys State”. Unfortunately “Chemical Hearts” lacks heart – it’s like an AI wrote a script of what it thought would be marketable to teens. Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams star. “Tesla” is an uninspired portrait of an inspiring figure. Ethan Hawke provides…

    “Project Power” thinks its reinventing the wheel but really it’s just recycling, while “An American Pickle” might be worth marinating in. “Project Power” on Netflix feels like it’s a bunch of VFX and video game storyboards strung together. The only saving grace is the acting of Dominique Fishback, Jamie Foxx, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Machine Gun…
