However, as per tradition, we also touch on some ranty vibes with my thoughts on Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" IMAX ticket touting and "Stranger Things S5". Plus some emotional vibes as I talk about my love for Luca Guadagnino.

  • A Safe Space for People Who Didn’t Like Superman.
    DISCLAIMERS: 1. I have no idea what I'm talking about to a large degree. 2. If you love this movie and/or the comic books I'm delighted for you, save yourself and absolutely do not listen to this. 3. I'm simply an ignorant superhero-movie-goer trying to make sense of why everyone is loving Superman. PLUS, I rewatched Jaws, Avengers Doomsday on-set gossip, and wonder WHO could play Indiana Jones today?

  • Time for "Jurassic" to go EXTINCT ("Rebirth" Review) + "The Odyssey" Trailer REACTION
    This week we wade into uncharted tropical waters only to have our joy gobbled up by a pack of Mesosauruses in "Jurassic World Rehash"-sorry-"Regrets"-sorry-"Rebirth". I stomp through all facets of this - hopefully final - Jurassic effort in a VERY spoilery review (you have been warned). We also react to the trailer for the new Chris Nolan movie "The Odyssey", as well as finish off with a surprising take on a current TV show.
