| Review | Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a movie that nobody expected to be as good as it was. It was hilarious, clever, and full of heart, all while wrapped in this vividly depicted fantasy world. Clearly John Francis Daley and Jon Goldstein love the source material. Hey, you guys wanna play DnD sometime?

| Review | Dread it, run from it, Nintendo arrives all the same. And now it's here: The Super Mario Bros. Movie has smashed records to become the second highest grossing animated film of all time. That's over a billion bucks, courtesy of Brooklyn's little red plumber turned multidimensional hero.

Monday Aug 14, 2023
| Review | All this, for a dog? Almost a decade after Keanu's titular once-retired hitman took the world by storm, he's back to end his desperate crusade, once and for all. With the stunts and world-building as wonderfully ambitious as ever, John Wick: Chapter 4 shows this franchise still has gas in the tank.
Rest in peace Lance <3

Sunday Aug 13, 2023
| Review | After over thirty years in the making, VFX legend Phil Tippet has finally completed his twisted stop motion passion project, Mad God. If you enjoy darkly macabre and generally insane art, then this one-way descent into dystopian hellscape is the fever dream for you.

Friday Aug 11, 2023
| Review | Accomplished Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul is a master of the slow, meditative cinema. His latest film, Memoria, is no exception; it's a fascinating sensory experience that asks big questions and answers very little. Don't worry though, Tilda Swinton is here to hold your hand.

| Review | Korean cinema is back on the menu with Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave. Typically known for his stylish and provocative plots of sensual trysts and violent revenge, Park cools off just a little here to capture a more contemplative and intimate noir between an insomniac detective and his supposed femme fatale. From the camera play to the language dynamic - there are some pretty cool cinematic tricks on display.

Episode 241 ”Shazam! Fury of the Gods”
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Monday Jul 03, 2023
| Review | Four years ago, Shazam! was a breath of fresh air in the messy DC superhero pipeline of the time. It’s sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods tries to capture that lightning in a bottle for a second time. Unfortunately, the movie seems doomed to failure because of massive delays, and then dropping shortly after the announcement of a hard James Gunn flavored reset for the entire Warner Brothers DC catalog. Well, there are worse ways to spend two hours on a Saturday.

Episode 240 ”The Last of Us” Season One
Monday May 01, 2023
Monday May 01, 2023
| Review | Finally, a really good video game adaptation. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to pull from years of highly successful IP, but here we are (looking at you, Halo). HBO gets it though. They’ve just created another cultural sensation with The Last of Us, a big budget television take on the classic Playstation action-adventure game of the same name. It’s been 10 years since this story took the gaming world by storm, but it’s more relevant now than ever.
