Movies Across The Pond: Recent Episodes
Carson Woody
The second episode of season 3 with Sean back as co-host, as we look at some more recent releases and our thoughts on them
Sean is back! After returning from Japan, co-hosting with my good friend Sean is now easier and will become more frequent. This episode also marks the start of season 3 and a new format, more of a conversation about movies in general and what we've seen lately, rather than the individual reviews for everything I see. If you like my individual reviews, I still do a spoiler free review for everything I watch on TikTok @WhatWoodysWatching, where I also respond to comments and post some other videos about theories and ideas.

The Last of Us is my favorite video game of all time, and now HBO has made it into a TV series!

Jordan John Kelly movie Without Remorse and the upcoming Rainbow Six, also part of Tom Clancy's series.
